Pathetic
Blink 182 · The Mark Tom And Travis Show
I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it
a loser, a bum's what she called me when I drove her home
there's no more waiting and sure no more wasting
I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone
You got, you got, you got to help me out
and I'll try not to argue
no one, no one, no one likes a drop-out
mistakes are hard to undo
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong
don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, this is where I belong, belong
I think it's disgusting, believing and trusting
if I gave a fuck there would be nothing for me to prove
although it's amusing, it's slightly confusing
I've done all I can but her ego is still hard to move
You got, you got, you got to help me out
and I'll try not to argue
no one, no one, no one likes a drop-out
mistakes are hard to undo
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong
don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, this is where I belong, belong
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, this is where I belong

Tom: Hey, you guys know...
Mark: You guys havin' fun?
Tom: We're professionals. You might not have noticed that,
but we are professionals at what we do. We just professionally
suck, and professionally act like a bunch of assholes on stage,
that's what we do. We're just as God made us.
Mark: Hey! You better wipe that shit-eating grin off your face
cause this next song is a sad one. And, uhhhh... more importantly
than that, if you're eating shit and grinning, then today's probably
not your day anyways, so, whatever.

Pathetic - Blink 182
Released on Blink 182's 2000 album The Mark, Tom And Travis Show, 'Pathetic' stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-2000s pop-punk sound. The track features the group's signature melodic guitar riffs and Tom DeLonge's emotive vocals, delivered over a driving rhythm section that defines the era's mainstream alternative rock landscape. While often associated with the band's earlier skate-punk roots, this recording showcases a more polished production style that helped solidify their status as a defining act of the early 2000s. The song remains a staple of their discography, frequently covered and referenced in discussions of the genre's evolution during that period.
