blink-182 – Anthem Part Two – Live In Chicago Lyrics

The live version of “Anthem Part Two” recorded in Chicago in 2001 closes off the untitled album. This live version of the song was dedicated to a kid from Tom DeLonge’s high school who got a boner in P.E. class.

[Intro: Tom Delonge]
Smell like what? There was a kid in my class that got a boner in P.E. in High School
He was wearing sweat pants, it was really embarasing, so this song goes out to him

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Everything has fallen to pieces
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance, we’ve been misled
Young and hostile, but not stupid
Corporate leaders, politicians
Kids can’t vote, adults elect them
Laws that rule the school and workplace
Signs that caution, sixteen’s unsafe
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
We really need to see this through
We never wanted to be abused
We’ll never give up, it’s no use
If we’re fucked up, you’re to blame

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
Let this train wreck burn more slowly
Kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings
Teenage rules, they’re fucked and boring

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
We really need to see this through
We never wanted to be abused
We’ll never give up, it’s no use
If we’re fucked up, you’re to blame

[Bridge: TomDelonge]
Everything has fallen to pieces
Everything has fallen to pieces
Everything has fallen to pieces
Everything has fallen to…

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
We really need to see this through
We never wanted to be abused
We’ll never give up, it’s no use
If we’re fucked up you’re to blame
