Dick Lips Lyrics
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
Because 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]
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
Nothing to lose, a boy who
Went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do, they can't trust me
Because I blew it once before, alright!
[Guitar Solo]
[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
Because I blew it once before

About being kicked out of school DeLonge said:
Being kicked out of school was bad, but it was also the best thing in my life. Because none of us would be here today. Blink-182 is one million percent around today because I got kicked out of school.
