Natives - Blink-182

Album: Neighborhoods

genre: Pop-Punk Punk-Rock

I’m like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? ‘Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room

I’m just a bastard child, don’t let it go to your head
I’m just a waste of your time, maybe I’m better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I’m fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We’ll have the time of our lives although we’re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’d rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’m never coming home

Don’t start to panic for me, ’cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Upon the side of a field I see a city with lights
I touch her face and I kneel, she tells me she’s not alive
I am too nervous to run, like kids who scatter and hide
To reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
A world is waiting for me, a road that I rarely use
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move

I’m just a bastard child, don’t let it go to your head
I’m just a waste of your time, maybe I’m better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I’m fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We’ll have the time of our lives although we’re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’d rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’m never coming home

I’m just a bastard child, don’t let it go to your head
I’m just a waste of your time, maybe I’m better off dead
You turn us loose in the night, I’m fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We’ll have the time of our lives although we’re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’d rather go in alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I’m never coming home

Neighborhoods Danzig album lyrics
Mark Hoppus stated to NME: "He (Travis Barker) was in the studio one day working on an entirely different project and he came up with this beat and got the engineer to record about 30 seconds of it and loop it. Tom (DeLonge) and I then went into the studio and pieced the song together. It all went really fast, within two or three hours of hearing the beat we'd written the skeleton of the song and I'd already written the chorus. It was a magical moment in the studio and when I heard that song it makes me happy."
