Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Better Days Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
And You Ask Me What I Want This Year
And I Try To Make This Kind And Clear
Just A Chance That Maybe We'll Find Better Days
Cause I Don't Need Boxes Wrapped In Strings
And Designer Love And Empty Things
Just A Chance That Maybe We'll Find Better Days
So Take These Words
And Sing Out Loud
Cause Everyone Is Forgiven Now
Cause Tonight's The Night The World Begins Again
I Need Someplace Simple Where We Could Live
And Something Only You Can Give
And Thats Faith And Trust And Peace While We're Alive
And The One Poor Child Who Saved This World
And There's 10 Million More Who Probably Could
If We All Just Stopped And Said A Prayer For Them
So Take These Words
And Sing Out Loud
Cause Everyone Is Forgiven Now
Cause Tonight's The Night The World Begins Again
I Wish Everyone Was Loved Tonight
And Somehow Stop This Endless Fight
Just A Chance That Maybe We'll Find Better Days
So Take These Words
And Sing Out Loud
Cause Everyone Is Forgiven Now
Cause Tonight's The Night The World Begins Again
Cause Tonight's The Night The World Begins Again
