[Verse 1]
I guess I'm blessed to be so fucking bored
And hiding from this
Phantom antigen that wants to
Send us to the morgue

[Chorus]
Quarantine, fuck this disease
I’d rather be on Star Tours or stuck at the DMV
Quarantine, nah, not for me
I thought that things were fucked up in 2019
Fuck quarantine

[Verse 2]
Some people hit the bottle
Some people hit the books
Some people storm the Capitol
Some second-guess parenthood

[Pre-Chorus]
It'll disappear in April, just like a miracle
We don't need social distance, we don’t need old people
So throw the shop doors open, save our economy
We don't need ICU beds, or PPE

[Chorus]
Quarantine, fuck this disease
I'd rather watch some magic or do press in Germany
Quarantine, no, not for me
I thought that things were fucked up in 2019
Fuck quarantine

[Pre-Chorus]
It'll disappear in April, just like a miracle
We don't need social distance, we don't need old people
So throw the shop doors open, save our economy
We don't need ICU beds, we don't need PPE

[Chorus]
Quarantine, fuck this disease
I’m never shaking hands again
And don’t kiss me on the cheek
Fuck quarantine

​​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”.
