Rich Lips (Live)​​blink-182

Released: November 7, 2000

Songwriter: Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus Scott Raynor

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Please, mom, you ground me all the time
I know that I was right all along
And I'm hoping, remember I'm a kid
I know not what I did, just having fun

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me 'cause I blew it once before

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
Shit, dad, please don't kick my ass
I know I've seen you trashed at least one time
Can I blame it on one of my dumb friends
It's been awhile since I have used that line

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge (& Mark Hoppus)]
You couldn't wait (you couldn't wait)
For something new (for something new)
And yesterday (and yesterday)
I thought of you (I thought of you)
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me 'cause I blew it once before
Alright!

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me 'cause I blew it once before

[Speech]
Tom: Hey uh Mark
Mark: What, what the fuck do you want Tom? I'm sick of "hey Mark, hey hey Mark, hey Mark, hey look at this, hey look at—look at how I make it bigger if I rub it, look at this, hey Mark come here"
Tom: No seriously, Mark hey, hey Mark. I wasn't really masturbating, I've never done that. I was inspecting my testicles for weird bumps
Mark: That—that's what you say, that's what you say, if your parents ever catch you, "I wasn't masturbating, I was just cleaning it and it went off!"
Tom: Do you guys wanna hear a song that I wrote about four days ago? 'Cause you really don't have a choice, you might as well be into it
Mark: Yeah, you might as well act like you wanna hear it 'cause otherwise we'll play it twice
Tom: Yeah, you bastards. Song goes like this

​​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”.
