The Young and the Hopeless

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 called nothing
I take what I want
Take what I need
They say it's wrong
But it's 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 the day
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, that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I'm fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world, and I don't care
I don't care

And 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 streets
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, that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I'm 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

I'm Young and I'm Hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say
That I'm troublesome, I'm 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
I don't care
