[Intro]
Do you wanna know what I think of you?
'Cause you're not the way I thought you should be
Do take back what you said
It's time to fix, it's time to fix your head
And now all alone, one's less than two
I've never been better off living lonely
To listen to what you say
I couldn't care less of what you say

[Verse 1]
What did you think of me acting this way
I guess you never really thought at all
Is that what you call your brain?
Is that why I call you hang up on me?

[Bridge]
I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose
And now I'm a man who's just living small
To listen to what you say
I couldn't care less of what you say

[Chorus 1]
To me as I walk alone I'd
Much rather be riding prone, than
To be just another one you are lame to

[Bridge]
I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose
And now I'm a man who's just living small
To listen to what you say
I couldn't care less of what you say

[Chorus 2]
To me as I tune you out of my mind
I won't bend over backwards or
Take another step ahead to
Hear from you again

[Chorus 1]
Don't talk to me as I walk alone I'd
Much rather be riding prone, than
To be just another one you are lame to

[Chorus 2]
Don't talk to me as I tune you out of my mind
I won't bend over backwards or
Take another step ahead to
Hear from you again

[Chorus 1]
Don't talk to me as I walk alone I'd
Much rather be riding prone, than
To be just another one you are lame to

​​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”.
