[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
All the, small things, true care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift, your ride, best trip
Always, I know you'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Late night, come home, work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

[Outro: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, the night will go on, my little windmill

[Speech]
Mark: Hi! We're back, just like I said we'd be back. You can leave now and beat the traffic
Tom: Or beat your meat
Mark: Or, you could stick around and beat your meat. I like that. I think I'm gonna say that every night from now on. You can leave and beat the traffic or you can stick around and beat your meat
Satan: I have a few words to say about beating your meat. Just, I just heard you guys talking about masturbation, I thought I'd show up and... I don't know, uh, I don't think I'm wanted here, so I'm gonna take off, see you guys later
Mark: It's my present to you people, we're gonna stop talking now and play a song. Thank you
Tom: Surprise!

​​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”.
