The Click
Good Charlotte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just because I walk
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.
Some people laugh
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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

Just because I walk like Obi-Wan Kenobi
You people talk, but you don't even know me
And that's alright, cuz I get down with GC
So I walk on and listen to their cd

Some people laugh, 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 alright
Cuz I have found a click to call my own
In crowd, out crowd, I don't care
Your crowd, my crowd, we can't share
Cuz I have found a click 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 autograph

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 alright
Cuz I have found a click to call my own
In crowd, out crowd, I don't care
Your crowd, my crowd, we can't share
Cuz I have found a click to call my own

She said 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 alright
Cuz I have found a click to call my own
In crowd, out crowd, I don't care
Your crowd, my crowd, we can't share
Cuz I have found a click 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

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.
