biography



Singer Joel Madden and his guitar-playing twin brother Benji were inspired to start their Maryland-based, pop-punk quintet Good Charlotte when they were 16 years old, after seeing a life-changing Beastie Boys concert in 1995. Although the twins had literally zero experience playing music, they had no trouble recruiting two high school friends--bassist Paul and drummer Aaron (the band members prefer to use only their first names)--to form the original, four-piece incarnation of Good Charlotte. Benji taught himself to play on a cheap guitar that had been collecting dust in a closet (with the help of Paul, who showed him a few basic pointers), and gradually the band improved; by the time they were high school seniors, they were a full-fledged rock combo with a following in the Baltimore/D.C. area and legitimate gigs at WHFS's annual HFSFestival.

Naturally, upon graduating high school, the boys decided to skip college to pursue their musical dream. Moving from the Maryland suburb of Waldorf to Annapolis, the four Good Charlotte members struggled to make ends meet with menial day jobs as waiters, stock boys, and shampoo attendants at a local beauty salon. But then they met guitarist Billy, who was playing in a local band called Overflow. Impressed by a Good Charlotte gig, Billy became fast friends with the Madden brothers, even allowing them to crash at his place after they were kicked out of their apartment. He started jamming with Joel and Benji and eventually became an official member of Good Charlotte, after which things really took off for the young, fledgling band: Airplay on WHFS and Philadelphia's Y100, as well as gigs with the likes of Blink 182, Lit, Eve 6, Nine Days, and Bad Religion, eventually led to a contract with Epic Records, which released Good Charlotte's upbeat self-titled debut album in 2000. The group's lively, '70s-inspired punk rock was well-received among fans of bands like Blink 182, Green Day, and Sum 41, and the Maddens' stint as VJs on the MTV show All Things Rock helped boost their pop profile even higher--thus perfectly setting up their 2002 sophomore effort, The Young & The Hopeless.

the anthem lyrics


,,,
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same

At my high school

It felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

"Go to college,
a university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playin with yourself again

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem

lifestyles of the rich and the famous lyrics


,,,
Always see it on TV
or read it in the magazines
celebrities they want sympathy
all they do is piss and moan, inside the rolling stone
talking about how hard life can be
id like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I dont think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two walking in someone else’s shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall, they would fall
(fall)

lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin, always complainin
if money is such a problem, well they got mansions
think we should rob them

did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife
and theres no such thing as 25-to-life
as long as you’ve got the cash to pay for Cochren
and did you know if you were caught and you were smoking crack
McDonalds wouldn’t even want to take you back
you could always just run for mayor of D.C.
I’d like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I don’t think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two
walking in someone else’s shoes
I think they’d stumble and they’d fall
they would fall

lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
(rob them)

(they would fall...fall)
lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
they've got so many problems
think I could solve them
lifestyles of the rich and the famous
we’ll take your clothes, cash, cars, and homes just stop complainin
lifestyles of the rich and famous (x3)

boys and girls lyrics



educated
with money
he's well dressed
not funny
and not much to say in most conversations
but he'll foot the bill in
all situations
cause he pays for everything

girls don’t like boys
girls like cars and money
boys will laugh at girls when they’re not funny

paper or plastic
don’t matter she’ll have it
vacations and shopping sprees
these are a few of her favorite things
she'll get what she wants if she’s willing to please
his type of girl always comes with a fee
hey now, there’s nothing for free

girls don’t like boys
girls like cars and money
boys will laugh at girls when they’re not funny
and these girls like these boys
like these boys like these girls
the girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
girls don’t like boys
girls like cars and money
(lets go)



girls don’t like boys
girls like cars and money
boys will laugh at girls when they’re not funny
and these girls like these boys
like these boys like these girls
the girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
girls don’t like boys
girls like cars and money

all of these boys and all of these girls, losing their souls in a material world.
(Until the end)

bloody valentine lyrics



Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life

I ripped out
His throat
And called you on the telephone
To take off
My disguise
Just in time to hear you cry when you...

You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time

Singin'...

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

There was
Police and
Flashing lights
The rain came down so hard that night and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...

You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time

Singin'...

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

Tonight

He dropped you off, I followed him home
Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window
Standing over him, he begged me not to do
What I knew I had to do cause I'm so in love with you

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight

the young and the hopeless lyrics


,,,
Hard days made me hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they call nothing
I take what I want, take what i need
You say its wrong but its right for me
I won't look down won't say I'm sorry
I know that only god can judge me

And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same?

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
I'm lost and i know this
I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
I'm troublesome i've fallen
I'm angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
I don't care

No one in this industry
Understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past
It's not a gimmick not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is
But when I see them on the street
They got nothin to say

And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same?

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
I'm lost and i know this
I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
I'm troublesome i've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and i don't care
i don't care, i don't care, now, i don't care

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Im lost and i know this
I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
I'm troublesome i've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and i don't care
i don't care
