Songwriter: Matt Skiba Mark Hoppus David Hodges John Feldmann Travis Barker

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]
Can you read my thoughts? I'm not sure what I said
I feel dumb, and long night coming
Did you steal my prayers? I don't know where I was
I feel numb, and all or nothing (all or nothing)

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral
Here we go, because we got no control (no control)
Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we
Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Until Monday morning strikes again
We are the kings of the weekend

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
I can feel my head falling off my neck
I need something to keep going
So just take my hand, only seconds left
The clock's running, our time's coming

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral
Here we go, because we got no control (no control)
Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we
Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Until Monday morning strikes again
We are the kings of the weekend

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral
Here we go, because we got no control (no control)
Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we
Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Until Monday morning strikes again
We are the kings of the weekend

​​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”.
