[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Are we all victims of opportunity
Locked outside the door back in '83
I heard the angry voice of the man inside
And saw the look of fear in my mother's eyes

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Mom, get in the car and let's drive away
She said, "I'm sorry, Mark, but there's nowhere to stay"
Gave up all her hope and went back inside
Hid her broken heart and let the engine die

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
Why do evil men get away with it?
Can't you see that I'm in a world of shit?
Turn your back on hope and go back inside
Stop my bleeding heart and let the engine die

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
