Festival Song
Embrace Freedom: Defying Conventions in Good Charlotte's Festival Song
Lyrics
Don't care about a thing today
Expressing indifference towards everything today.
I used to but I'm fed up
Previously cared but now reached a point of frustration.
And I can hear the words you say
Acknowledging the words being spoken but desiring silence.
I wish that you would shut up
Expressing a wish for the person to stop talking.
I've got responsibility
Acknowledging personal responsibilities.
That is my liability
Seeing responsibilities as a liability.
A menace to society
Acknowledging being viewed as a menace to society.
At least that's what they say to me
Recalling what others say about being a menace.
But tonight tonight it's on tonight
Expressing excitement for the current moment.
I don't want your boring life
Rejecting a mundane or uninteresting life.
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Rejecting a traditional 9-to-5 job.
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
Resisting external influence on how to live life.
People always tell me not to waste my time
Advised not to waste time by others.
To get a real job and get back in line
Encouraged to conform to societal expectations.
You can say I'll never be a millionaire
Challenging the notion of becoming wealthy.
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere
Doubting the potential success of playing guitar.
I've got responsibility
Reiterating personal responsibilities as a liability.
That is my liability
Questioning authority figures.
I'm questioning authority
Expressing skepticism about opportunities.
They say there's not a chance for me
Being told there's little chance of success.
But tonight tonight it's on tonight
Repeating excitement for the current moment.
I don't want your boring life
Rejecting a boring or unfulfilling life.
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Rejecting a traditional 9-to-5 job again.
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
Resisting external influences on life choices.
Your future's no future
Asserting that the conventional future is undesirable.
Your future's no future
Repeating the rejection of a predetermined future.
Your future's no future
Emphasizing the rejection of a predefined path.
I control my future
Claiming control over one's own future.
But tonight tonight it's on tonight
Reiterating excitement for the current moment once more.
I don't want your boring life
Rejecting a monotonous or uninteresting life again.
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Rejecting a traditional 9-to-5 job again.
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
Resisting external influences on life choices again.
Tonight tonight it's on tonight
Repeating excitement for the current moment once more.
I don't want your boring life
Rejecting a monotonous or uninteresting life once more.
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Rejecting a traditional 9-to-5 job once more.
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
Resisting external influences on life choices once more.
I'm leaving
Expressing the decision to leave or break free.
I'm leaving
Repeating the decision to leave.
I'm leaving
-I'm leaving tonight
Emphasizing the imminent departure tonight.
