[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Coming in, coming in, kill the radio
Silence, breakdown in L.A
Giving up, giving in to a feeling of
Violence, there's hell to pay
So let's light another match, stop living in the past
Where nobody can hear me now
Blow the lock off the cage, watch the children come of age
When their parents stop to take a bow

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Nothing takes root in this barren soil, nothing takes root
In this barren soil, maybe there's no one there at all

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Line 'em up on the wall, coming out with their
Hands up, give 'em all the chair
Let it burn, let it fall, let the end of the
World come, who's left to care?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Nothing takes root in this barren soil, nothing takes root
But we bend in toil, maybe there's no one there at all

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down, and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Stop living in the shadow of a helicopter...

​​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”.
