The Click
Good Charlotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like Obi-Wan Kenobi
You people talk
But you don't even know me
And that's all right
'Cause I get down with G.C.
So I walk on and
Listen to their C.D.
They do it just to spite me
Behind my back
They don't know what I see
But I don't care what they say
I don't need them anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
You go out on Friday night
I'll stay in but that's all right
'Cause I have found a clique
To call my own in-crowd
Out-crowd
I don't care your crowd
My crowd
We can't share
'Cause I have found
A clique to call my own
(Let's go)
So come and talk to me
On my computer screen
The best years of our lives
Aren't as easy as they seem
But one day we'll look back
And then we'll have to laugh
They used to call us names
Now they want our autographs
To get the girl and make the grade
It's all a show
It's all a game
And I would lose it if I played
It's all the same
So I don't care what they say
I don't need them anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
You go out on Friday night
I'll stay in but that's all right
'Cause I have found a clique
To call my own in-crowd
Out-crowd
I don't care your crowd
My crowd
We can't share
'Cause I have found a
Clique to call my own
She says she'd call
But I know she won't
(She won't)
(She won't)
You go out on Friday night
I'll stay in but that's all right
'Cause I have found a clique
To call my own in-crowd
Out-crowd
I don't care your crowd
My crowd
We can't share
'Cause I have found a
Clique to call my own
I don't care what you say
I don't need you anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
I don't care what you say
I don't need you anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
The song "The Click" by Good Charlotte is about belonging and finding your own group of people to fit in with. The first verse talks about how people judge based on appearances, but the singer doesn't mind because they have found their own group to be a part of, which happens to be the fanbase of Good Charlotte. The chorus repeats the idea of finding a clique that you fit in with, regardless of what others say.
The second verse expands on this idea and talks about how the best years of our lives aren't always easy, but one day we will look back and laugh at how people used to treat us. The singer also talks about how the "game" of fitting in and getting the girl or making the grade isn't worth playing and how they would lose if they did. Ultimately, they don't care what others say or think and will continue to go about their day.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to find their own group of people to be a part of and not worry about fitting in with everyone else.

Just because I walk
Like Obi-Wan Kenobi
People judge me based on my appearance and how I carry myself
You people talk
But you don't even know me
People make assumptions and gossip about me without really knowing me
And that's all right
'Cause I get down with G.C.
I'm okay with people judging me as long as I can still enjoy listening to my favorite band Good Charlotte
So I walk on and
Listen to their C.D.
I ignore people's judgment and criticism and focus on what I enjoy doing
Some people laugh
They do it just to spite me
Some people laugh at me just to hurt my feelings
Behind my back
They don't know what I see
People talk about me negatively without realizing that I am aware of their behavior
But I don't care what they say
I don't need them anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
I don't let other people's judgment and negativity affect me and I continue living my life the way I want to
You go out on Friday night
I'll stay in but that's all right
'Cause I have found a clique
To call my own in-crowd
Out-crowd
I don't care your crowd
My crowd
We can't share
'Cause I have found a clique to call my own
I have found my own group of people who I connect with and who accept me for who I am, regardless of what other people think or say
So come and talk to me
On my computer screen
I prefer to communicate with others through technology rather than face-to-face because it's easier for me to express myself and be accepted without being judged based on my appearance
The best years of our lives
Aren't as easy as they seem
But one day we'll look back
And then we'll have to laugh
Life is not as easy as it may seem, but eventually, we will be able to look back and find humor in the ways we used to be judged and mistreated by others
They used to call us names
Now they want our autographs
People who used to mock and belittle us now want our attention and approval because we have found success and acceptance within our own group
To get the girl and make the grade
It's all a show
It's all a game
And I would lose it if I played
It's all the same
The things that others do to gain acceptance and validation, like impressing others and succeeding in school, are all part of a game that I don't want to play because it goes against my values and beliefs
She says she'd call
But I know she won't
(She won't)
(She won't)
Even if someone shows interest in being my friend, I know that they won't follow through because they only care about superficial things and not who I truly am as a person
I don't care what you say
I don't need you anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway
I am confident in myself and my choices and don't let others' opinions affect me or my daily life

Just because I walk like Obi-Wan Kenobi
You people talk, but you don't even know me

But anyway
You go out on Friday night

Such a perfect encapsulation of early 2000s rock / media. Pure nostalgia.

Undergrads! One of the greatest shows from my childhood.
Tom Fetherston
I'm afraid it's not the greatest show from my childhood. I used to watch it when I was 5 in the evening or in the middle of the night. I was too young for that 18A cartoon.
