[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
We work and slave the day away
We're raised in perfect families
We fuck and fight like vagabonds
We dance like fucking animals
Don't stop the band is coming on
Rude boys and punks will shout along
Police cars bring cuffs and loaded guns
Kids scream, but laughing as they run

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope, do you wanna
Let go? Yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, 'cause this is home

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
Gunshots, the punks are rioting
The stage is slowly crumbling
Smashed doors and try to stay alive
A few drinks and a lot of broken lights
Go hide and call the cavalry
Let's dance in perfect harmony
Get close, the crowd will come apart
That girl will try to make you hard

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope, do you wanna
Let go? Yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, do you wanna
This time? I-I-I, I-I-I, I hope you wanna
Let go, yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, 'cause this is home

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope, do you wanna
Let go? Yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, do you wanna
This time? I-I-I, I-I-I, I hope you wanna
Let go, yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, 'cause this is home

​​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”.
