  • Don't care about a thing today
    I used to but I'm fed up
    And I can hear the words you say
    I wish that you would shut up

    I've got responsibility
    That is my liability
    A menace to society
    At least that's what they say to me

    But tonight tonight it's on tonight
    I don't want your boring life
    And I don't want your 9 to 5
    Or anyone to tell me how to live my life

    People always tell me not to waste my time
    To get a real job and get back in line
    You can say I'll never be a millionaire
    Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere

    I've got responsibility
    That is my liability
    I'm questioning authority
    They say there's not a chance for me

    But tonight tonight it's on tonight
    I don't want your boring life
    And I don't want your 9 to 5
    Or anyone to tell me how to live my life

    Your future's no future
    Your future's no future
    Your future's no future
    I control my future

    But tonight tonight it's on tonight
    I don't want your boring life
    And I don't want your 9 to 5
    Or anyone to tell me how to live my life

    Tonight tonight it's on tonight
    I don't want your boring life
    And I don't want your 9 to 5
    Or anyone to tell me how to live my life

    I'm leaving
    I'm leaving
    I'm leaving
    I'm leaving tonight Writer/s: BENJI MADDEN, JOEL MADDEN

  • Jacob from Chicago, Ili think CG is the best band ever they inspire so many people including me and my friends to do what we think and not what other people think
  • Jenniffer from Bogota, South AmericaIsn't that line, "Your future's no future" inspired on Sex Pistol's "God Save The Queen"?
  • Renee from Sydney, AustraliaGood Charlotte have inspired me so much. All their songs are the products of all the bad stuff that has happened in their life. They sing about this so as they can inspire other people never to give up.
  • Christi from Bel Air, MdWhenever they come here to play the HFStival they always play it that song. They're old stuff rocks. I don't know what happend.
