The Girl Next Door​​blink-182

Released: October 27, 1998

[Verse 1 - Mark Hoppus]
White girl living in the city
In a big apartment house
She's living with her boyfriend now
She drives off every day for school and work
She washes dishes now
And watches TV on the pull out couch

[Chorus - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge]
But every day's the same
But every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same

[Verse 2 - Mark Hoppus]
White girl moved back to the suburbs
And she's finally found a man
Who knows how to take care of her
They bought the perfect little house
And the lawn's well manicured
And she's never missed a day of work

[Chorus - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge]
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same

[Verse 3 - Mark Hoppus]
White girl couldn't go on knowing
She was just here wasting time
She drowned in the lake last night
They found her bloated body floating
But she still walks around
Performing all her daily chores

[Bridge - Mark Hoppus]
She still don't know what life's about
She still don't know what life's about

[Outro - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge]
'Cause every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same
And every day's the same

​​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”.
