Skupina byla založena v Ajaxu, na předměstí Toronta v létě roku 1996. Prvními zakládajícími členy byli kytarista a zpěvák Deryck Whibley a bubeník Steve Jocz. Ještě téhož roku se ke kapele přidali kytarista Dave Baksh a baskytarista Mark...
I'll never take part in the growing population
Or waste my time with further education
Forget what we know
It's just a big show
What they want to control
So jaded
Frustrated
It's all so complicated
Fashion
No passion surrounds me
All I know is
I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in
Something fake, well I
Can't bring myself to
Do what you want me to
This is who we are and
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
I can't take part in the business man illusion
I'll take my chance in the real world confusion
Don't blame us
Who do we trust
When they're so dishonest?
No patience
This nation's obsessed with exploitation
Lying
Denying surrounds me
All I know is
I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in
Something fake well I
Can't bring myself to
Do what you want me to
This is who we are and
Nothing's gonna change
Don't think you can ignore us
Don't tell me that we're to blame
Don't pick our future for us
Or act like we're the same
All I know is
I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in
Something fake well I
Can't bring myself to
Do what you want me to
This is who we are and
Nothing's gonna change
Thanks for nothing
(I've heard this all before)
Thanks for nothing
(Reality's a bore)
Thanks for nothing
(It'll never be the same)
Thanks for nothing
(And nothing's gonna change)
