Marlboro Man (Flyswatter version)​​blink-182

Songwriter: Scott Raynor Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

[Verse 1]
This one day
My mind is strained
And can I can I can I have fun
No matter what I do
Or how much I just sit here
I can't go on just sucking my thumb

[Verse 2]
Sitting with my toys
Stressing out my noise
After thinking that I couldn't read
Sitting on the porch
And waiting for the porno
While sucking on my nicotine

[Chorus 1]
I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's two bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

[Chorus 1]
I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's two bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

[Chorus 2]
Black tar, brown mud, latex paint
All in my lungs today
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved everyday

[Verse 3]
Oh how the wind blows
So soft as it slides right through my nose
That's not enough
It's not enough 'til I cough up a lung

[Chorus 2]
Black tar, brown mud, latex paint
All in my lungs today
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved everyday

[Outro]
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved every day

​​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”.
