I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are
Creeping about
These people are
Freaking me out

It’s getting hectic everywhere that I go
They won’t leave me alone
There’s things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid about the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can’t anyone see

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x6]

I rock a
Lawsuit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone
Talkin’ on the phone
Got an interview
With the rolling stone
They’re saying
“Now you’re rich and
Now you’re famous
And fake ass girls all know your names and
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Was your first hit aren’t you ashamed?”
Of the life [x2]
Of the life we’re livin’

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messin’ around boy
Better think a your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers

Lookout
You better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say
Where we’re coming from
We’ve already seen
The wealth that this life can bring

Now we’re expected everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

This might actually be my favorite song on the whole cd. I personally like it when Benji sings the high pitch part.

This song is amazing. This is a catchy poppier song on their new album, which they are lacking on this CD. It'd make for a great single. I personally love the song, it hops through so many genres, it truely shows how unique Good Charlotte is, and how much they can suprise us.

I think this song is funny...they needed a song to lighten up the mood of the CD...I can see this as a "catching single". When I first heard it I was laughing so hard, and I was like what the hell is this...lol....it kinda reminds me of that "boy band" 2ge+her...LMAO!

Wow, this is such an incredibly awful song. When I saw the video I was shocked, I was like "are you kidding me?" it's so fucking stupid. Truth is, GC has changed for the worse, Their first album was pretty good. The second was decent. and this one should not have been put out.

I know most "hardcore" GC fans prolly hate this (aka 13 year old girls) but I must say as much as I truly hate this band I enjoy this song a lot. It's fun and catchy and sounds great. Who cares, it's not like they are real punk music or anything so let them do some pop shit, all the rest of it us in one way or another

just because its not as super deppresing as what you people love that doesnt mean its shit. This song is one of the best on the cd. This song alone would almost make you want to listen to GC.

Wow. I find it incredibly funny that everyone who is insulting this band for their lyrics/ song writing ability, clearly can't even type a legible sentence. If you're going to insult a band, do it intelligently, because then you're the one who looks like a dumbass.

Alot of things are better than Simple Plan, you know. In fact, anything tangible that doesn't involve Simple Plan can potentially be considered the Most Wonderful Thing in the World. And that's a lot of things. Anyway, regarding this song, I'm in awe that Good Charlotte managed to come up with something worse than "Hold On". Especially since they're now complaining about their fans.
