Anthem Lyrics

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
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
Signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe

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 f***ed up
You're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
Kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings,
Teenage rules they're f***ed and boring

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 f***ed up
You're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to

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 f***ed up
You're to blame

Anthem

This is about being trapped in the suburbs and wishing for your 21st birthday to come so that you can finally have freedom and beer.

Like many of blink-182's songs, this expresses the way many teenagers feel. Their appeal to this audience is the reason for their massive success.

This is the last song on the band's huge commercial success, Enema of the State.
