Lyrics for Anthem as interpreted by piesupreme

Anthem Lyrics
Home show, mom wont know
Run out the back door
Hes passed out on the floor
Third time, been caught twice
Forgive our neighbor Bob
I think he humped the dog

But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

White lies, bloodshot eyes
Breath of alcohol
Stole it from the mall
Hows Chris marked with lipstick
Better call their fathers
Sleeping with your daughters
But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

You dont belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall
Too bad youre wrong, dont need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb

Turn low the radio
I think I hear my dad
Yelling at the band

But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

You dont belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall
Too bad youre wrong, dont need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb

Actually, it's about growing up in a shithole where no one cares about you or what you do until you're drunk and then you're just instantly grounded. Good work, Frat boy.

Jiwwy has kinda got it. It's about a kid who THINKS he is being smart and doing what he wants. But really the parents dont care that much and the kid aint that clever. He gets caught anyhow and punished with no thought. I have a friend like this.

1979, sorry, but youre wrong. i say an interview, and tom said that its about when there was a huge party, and they were playing there, and some people got into a fight, and there was blood all over the place, and everybody had to pitch in and help clean up, before the parents came home, so blinky, you almost got it.

Don't you just love the morons who get a rush out of making negative comments about bands just to piss off loyal fans? This one's for you bitterbrian, my name is also Brian and you disgrace my name. bitterbrian is probably the kinda guy who talks about how bad blink is just because they are popular and then raves about how awesome this band is that nobody has heard about. Well my friend, there is a reason why they are popular...

Well said. My name is also Brian. I'm with what a lot of you guys are saying...why go find a band and go into one of their songs just to bad mouth them..perhaps they have no life. Anyhow, great song. Thanks.

I actually cried the first time I heard that lyric. I don't know why, but I did. I think the song starts off being about a party, but it's about parental oppression.

Peace, Love, Empathy,

You don't need to be good at guitar or bass when you can write songs that are easy to play and sound like this.

And another thing...If talent is everything, then why don't we get Eddie Vedder, Slash, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Don Walker and Travis Barker to play in a band together? Then that band would be the only one in existance, since they all have more talent than anyone else.

Ok you stupid people critizing blink; in the first place, if you don't like the band then what the hell are you doing here? don't you got something better to do? I like punk rock music, and just because blink-182 had become famous doesn't mean they are not punk... I hate when people like you thinks that just because they are TALENTED and had make it big his music has stop being good... They actually rock! I love them... and believe me, I can distinguish between a pop band and a punk band. Simple Plan pisses punks off... why is that? because they are NOT punkers, Avril Lavigne pisses punks even more... why is that? because she THINKS she is punk and she's not, because she sings worse than a sick dog, and because she is so stupid!
I know bands like; The get up kids, the starting line, sugarcult, taking back sunday, green day, the-all american rejects, fenix tx, NOFX, mxpx so don't fuck me, by saying I don't know what punk is; Blink is punk! only that they're a bit more famous that the bands I had mentioned up there, but that does not makes them less...
Blinky is right... this song is about one Tom's friend that he was making a party because his parents were out of town, so Tom invited all the school because his band was playing. But the parents of Tom's friend arrived that same night so they ended with the party and punished the poor guy. I think is about living a very difficult age... when you feel like 'you don't belong' and you just want to leave to some other place in which you don't have to answer to anyone... Cool song, even though, they had better ones.

i agree, anyone who thinks blink is still punk is jaded. they are one of the best and definitely the funniest pop punk bands out there. im not sure if i like their new more serious album. I miss the funny ballads of yesteryear.

i like the all american rejects and i think that they are very talented even if you do label them "punk pop" that phrase is a contradiction in itself becuz they r completely different and if u r punk it is impossible to be pop if u r pop it is impossibl to be punk..blink is not pop but they have a pop sound in 'all the small things' but if u came here to call blink 182 posers u have your right to an opinion but dont force it on me cuz ill juss shove it down your throat & make u choke on ur own words...a bit graphic yes but im tired of ppl dissing blink when they probly have only heard o
ne or two songs by them.

I agree with most of u. Blink is punk, and AAR kick ass. Who gives a damn whether or not they're 'punk'. Did u make up the rules anyway? If they write kick-ass, guitar-driven songs, which are really catchy, they've got my vote. And all the miserable emo-heads can go find some real music. If it's catchy, and NOT Hip-Hop or Plastic pop(DIE!) I think it's good.
