Go Lyrics
Are we all victims of opportunity
Locked outside the door back in '83
I heard the angry voice of the man inside
And saw the look of fear in my mother's eyes
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Mom, get in the car and let's drive away
She said, "I'm sorry, Mark, but there's nowhere to stay"
Gave up all her hope and went back inside
Hid her broken heart and let the engine die
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
Why do evil men get away with it?
Can't you see that I'm in a world of shit?
Turn your back on hope and go back inside
Stop my bleeding heart and let the engine die
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, & Mark Hoppus]
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Go! Go! Go! Go! I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
About
“Go” is a song about domestic violence. It tells the story of a protagonist named Mark (based off of Mark Hoppus, the lead singer) who heard his father yelling inside and saw his mother leaving in fear. He urges his mother to just drive away, but his mother says there is nowhere to go, so they just return to the abusive father. The song uses the engine dying as a metaphor for the fear and broken heart. The rest of the song is the protagonist wondering how evil men can get away with being evil.
