Marlboro Man

Blink 182 · Flyswatter (EP)

I whistle good, I'm kinda straight
And I can, I can, I can have fun
No matter what I do I've always assumed that
I can't go on sucking my thumb

Sifting through the toys waiting at my door
After thinking that I couldn't read
Sitting on my couch and waiting for the porno
While I'm sucking on my damn fugi

I don't know why, I just wanna die
And here's two bucks for you
Guess this is the part where I should really part
But I guess I got nothing to do

I don't know why, I just wanna die
And here's two bucks for you
Guess this is the part where I should really part
But I guess I got nothing to do

What's our grandma think of me?
All that I've got to do today
I guess I should, it's a wonder, I'd say
My breath is how the streets cave in everyday

Oh, how the antelopes
Tom's thumb just walked right through my nose
That's my mom
Into my room until my papa's long gone

What's our grandma think of me?
All that I've got to do today
I guess I should, it's a wonder, I'd say
My breath is how the streets cave in everyday

Guess I should, it's a wonder for God's sake
My breath is how the streets cave in everyday

Marlboro Man

Released on the Flyswatter EP, "Marlboro Man" is a quintessential Blink 182 track that exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and pop sensibility. The song features the group's characteristic power chords and a driving rhythm section, anchored by Mark Hoppus's melodic vocals and Tom DeLonge's distinctive guitar work. As a staple of their discography, it captures the late 90s nu-metal and pop-punk era while maintaining the band's signature humor and youthful attitude. The recording serves as a reminder of the group's ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly anthems that have defined their career and influenced a generation of alternative rock musicians.
