Background

"The Young & The Hopeless" is the fourth single taken from Good Charlotte's second studio album The Young And The Hopeless. This is one of the few Good Charlotte songs where guitarist Benji Madden sings lead instead of only back-up vocals. He sings the second verse in the song.

The song was remixed by Joe Hahn for the greatest hits/remix album Greatest Remixes. About the album, Benji Madden said, "Every person on this record spent time and energy applying their immense skill to each track bringing so many flavors to one record."

Both Chester and Brad had previously appeared in the music video for Good Charlotte's "Festival Song", recorded at HFStival in Washington D.C. in 2001, a show that both Good Charlotte and Linkin Park played.

Lyrics

Album Version

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

(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 nothing 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 don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

I'm young and I'm hopeless (I don't care)
I'm lost and I know this (I don't care)
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say (That's what they say)
That I'm troublesome, I'm fallen (I don't care)
I'm angry at my father (I don't care)
It's me against this world and I don't care

I'm young and I'm hopeless (I don't care)
I'm lost and I know this (I don't care)
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say (That's what they say)
That I'm troublesome, I'm fallen (I don't care)
I'm angry at my father (I'm angry at my father)
It's me against this world and I don't care (It's me against this world and I don't care)
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
