One of the most important Blink 182 songs. The first verse and whatnot, yes is in reference to some specific party Tom went to. BUT. There is an HUGE underlying message in this song. It is what it is, an Anthem. It sums up a lot of what Blink's material discusses. It's about being raised in a middle-lower class neighborhood by hypocrite parents. Being dragged through divorce, being yelled at by teachers and maybe, being a little pissed off about it all. Punk rock music is largely about the youth. Blink 182 speaks for the youth throughout their material. It's a big middle finger from the youth to the parents. The chorus says it all: 'You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on. You planned their fall'. Tom even had to go as far as to spell it out plainly in Anthem Part II by saying: 'If we're f*cked up, you're to blame'. Take it for what it is. Blink 182 are great artists.
