Anthem lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

Home show, mom won't know

Run out the back door, he's passed out on the floor

Third time, been caught twice

Forgive our neighbor Bob, I think he humped the dog

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

But good things come to those who wait cause she laid me

And mom and dad possess the key, instant slavery

No need explain the plan, no need to even bother

I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were 21

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]

White lies, bloodshot eyes

Breath of alcohol, stole it from the mall

How's Chris marked with lipstick?

Better call their fathers, sleeping with your daughters

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

But good things come to those who wait cause she laid me

And mom and dad possess the key, instant slavery

No need explain the plan, no need to even bother

I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were 21

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on

You planned their fall, too bad you're wrong

Don't need a mom-dad slave drive song

I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]

Turn low the radio

I think I hear my dad yelling at the band

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

But good things come to those who wait cause she laid me

And mom and dad possess the key, instant slavery

No need explain the plan, no need to even bother

I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were 21

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on

You planned their fall, too bad you're wrong

Don't need a mom-dad slave drive song

I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb

I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb
