DeLonge, Tom - Suburban Kings Lyrics






That is gonna come to meet us
Every guy that wished and fell
I got a brand new apartment
On the other side of Poway Hill
Every kid is dreading Monday
Ice is on my window sill
Waiting for a brand new skateboard
I'm waiting for a bit of skill
Tommy want a punk-rock weekend
And Tommy need a new guitar
Tommy ain't a high school drop out
But got kicked out of high school, far.

Wait, hold up my head is gonna blow up, right up
Think, wake shot up these words
Have gotten quite a bit grey
Like they were yesterday
We were on our way
When the songs do their thing
Everyone would sing

Suburban kings they will die but will rise up one day
Like little kids they will fight til they all get their way
And make the most of themselves
But we sound the alarm
Like they jumped straight out of Hell
A freaking hydrogen bomb
Bombs away

You gotta get the rules and break them
This house is getting out of hand
Mother's got a thing for praying
But God is gonna hate my band
Tommy wants a life of purpose
Tommy has some dreams to plan
I drive to that shit apartment
I'm gonna build a punk-rock band

Wait, hold up my head is gonna blow up, right up
Think, wake shot up these words
Have gotten quite a bit grey
Like they were yesterday
We were on our way
When the ship stops at land
You will know what you have

Suburban kings they will die but will rise up one day
Like little kids they will fight til they all get their way
And make the most of themselves
But we sound the alarm
Like they jumped straight out of Hell
A freaking hydrogen bomb
Suburban kings they will die
But will rise up one day
With steady wings they will fly
From up and out of their cage
We show the worst of themselves
We must sound the alarm
These kids, they jumped out of Hell
A freaking hydrogen bomb
Bombs away

Suburban kings they will die but will rise up one day
Like little kids they will fight til they all get their way
And make the most of themselves
But we sound the alarm
Like they jumped straight out of Hell
A freaking hydrogen bomb
Suburban kings they will die
But will rise up one day
With steady wings they will fly
From up and out of their cage
We show the worst of themselves
We must sound the alarm
These kids, they jumped out of Hell
A freaking hydrogen bomb
Bombs away

    Are not fans
    But a community created by Tom and we really love you and thanks for saving our childhood ❤️

  25. T.... M....

    0:45 Brooks Wackerman rocks those drums. Leading into chorus is awesome. And the symbol crashes during the chorus create a great "swinging" feeling.

  27. A.... H....

    to this day, nobody still is acknowledging the fact that blink jacked the drums from suburban Kings and used it in kings of the weekend??

  28. J.... M....

    Damn, This Song Very Awesome, better than any Song On California album...
    Blink need you back :(

  29. M.... B....

    this is a fucking poem¡¡, thanks Tom, i hope see you in Mexico before i die =(

  30. A.... T....

    Who played drums on this?

    A.... T....

    Brooks Wackerman

    A.... T....

    How do you know that

    A.... T....

    @A Dot_182 tom confirmed it, and with just googling it you can find it

  31. G.... M....

    How can you listen to this song and still think Tom doesn't care about blink? It is almost the perfect sequel to Rite of Spring; this song came out of the second split in blink, while Rite of Spring followed the first hiatus+WDNTW. They both utilize similarly sounding melodic elements and very bittersweet lyricism. Fucking spectacular 🤘💖

  32. J.... G....

    Is this sold on CD!? I feel like this fills the void that new blink left in my heart.

    J.... G....

    Bro.. Google "keepaudio youtube"

    J.... G....

    @magnumxlpi he wants it on CD

  33. E.... ....

    So much better than kings of the weekend.

  34. N.... s....

    Just goes to show who is blinks real musician....mark needs tom to write a good song....tom doesn't need mark...marks best song is when heart stop beating and bored too death....tom's is the adventure and Rite of Spring...i rest my case

  35. A.... P....

    I'll start a punkrock band with you Tom. Let go.

  36. t.... ....

    It's funny, this came out right when I was going through a massive blink 182 phase for no reason. Yet I didn't know. Funny how the world and time works.

  37. N.... C....

    Tom looks like David Duchovny's doppelganger! "I Want To Believe" 👽👽👽👽👽

  38. L.... A....

    I can hear Mark's voice in the chorus..

  39. P.... ....

    Blink 182

  40. Z.... T....

    Rite of Spring part 2 :)

  41. C.... O....

    Isis on my window sill

  42. D.... D....

    I wish Tom would make more songs about real-life scenarios (i.e. Rite of Spring). These type of songs are absolutely killer and hit emotionally on another level.

    "Isis on my windowsill"

  46. D.... D....

    If this song came out in 2004 and Angels and airwaves didn't exist people would say it's one of the best blink songs. #TrueStory

  47. I.... p....

    i díd not know it but i like it

  48. J.... L....

    This sounds Like a song from "Neighborhoods"

  49. L.... A....

    i hate the way he sings now. :(

  50. L.... ....

    This song sounds a lot of "Kings of the Weekend" would this song have something to do with that song??

  51. s.... ....

    tom has soul on every song he made

  52. M.... O....

    i love tom

  53. T.... -....

    This man is and forever will be blink, this song shits on whole california,

  54. W.... W....

    the last Blink-182 song

  55. J.... C....

    So many great songs on here that could potentially have been great Blink songs too

  56. G.... D....

    Holy shit.
    The feels guys!

  57. C.... ....

    Isis on my windowsill lol

  58. t.... l....

    been a fan since box car racer!!!!

  59. E.... �....

    blink-182 need you Tom, they need this type of songs

  60. T.... E....

    I was living a life this whole song describes two years before Delongue played it

  61. O.... ....

    Mothers got a thing for praying, but god is gonna hate my band.--Tommy wants a life of purpose, Tommy has some dreams to plan.

  62. A.... B....

    you have my respect Tom, i want Energizer trio not that one

  63. S.... M....

    Did I hear an "angklung" sounds play in this instrument?

    S.... M....

    Serius gan

    S.... M....

    Entah itu angklung ato bukan tp mirip angklung.. tp jgn heran juga di album box car racer juga da lagu dgn unsur gamelan kawan

  64. R.... V....

    I know that it's impossible for you to release more amazing songs with Blink 182. So all I'm asking for is a reunion concert. Take us back to those good old days.

  65. M.... M....

    This sounds better than anything that's on California.

  66. C.... ....

    Isis on my window seal

    C.... ....

    Christopher M that what I hear now, for god sake

  67. N.... ....

    The hate towards both, Delonge and Skiba is starting to severely annoy me. For me Tom has always been an amazing member of blink-182. He's creativity is mind blowing which can be seen in every song he's written or participated writing. It's not only the music this man has created, the Love film and books he's written pretty much explain this with the music. Blink changed my life, so did AVA and Boxcar Racer. I really love especially the two Love albums of AVA. He's very passionate about music. I still can see that he isn't as good of a performer on the stage as he is in the studio. It's normal for me to not enjoy many of his live performances. He improvises and sometimes nails killer improvisations though. Tom was/is busy, maybe he wasn't interested in blink anymore. He left, it's his decision and I think that it's not very respectful towards his other work to cry for his return in blink. He's gonna continue the way he wants to. At least I'm okay with that! Now Matt Skiba. I also like him. His work with Alkaline Trio is beautiful and he really seems to be a perfect replacement for Tom in blink. He sings on key live and doesn't improvise too much. I like that. He's guitar tone sounds good to me and he isn't a bad player, either. Now he doesn't nail all the riffs, but hey he hasn't written even half of the songs they usually perform. I think he's trying his best and does a good work. If you don't like him in blink, it's fine. It takes time. Tom was in the band since it's start, so of course seeing and hearing Skiba with blink can sound bizarre. I find it retarded to keep repeating "Skiba sucks". Show some respect, please! Oh but then again this is internet. Can be a bit hard. That's pretty much my thoughts. :D

  68. J.... v....

    where did Tom get a drummer that plays like completely exactly like Travis?

    J.... v....

    Jan S. he used a studio drummer for this. I forgot his name though.

    J.... v....

    thx Michael :)

    J.... v....

    Probably this is the reason why i like this song - i always imagine that's Travis on the drums.

    J.... v....

    It sound soooo much like him! Yeah, it's like imagining there's still something like Blink but with Tom in it :')

    J.... v....

    Album drummer - Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion

  69. J.... J....

    I think Tom's writings or songs have more emotions than Mark's. Even if you don't know the lyrics to Tom's songs, you just kind of like nod your head or just feel the music. Dammit.. Get back with Blink182. Even if you guys are gonna be 4 members in the band. Tom sings lead vox and plays some gtr2 parts and Matt sings backup vox and gtr1 parts.... That would have been just WOW! Oh well! haha....Sorry... it's hard to move on. Tom and Mark on vocals is just so amazing, fun and so dynamic.
    And also, what if Tom combines his Vox and Mesa for guitar tone. Might be interesting....

  70. A.... D....

    Wowwwww

  71. R.... S....

    nice song :)

  72. V.... ....

    Surplus of love

  73. F.... _....

    Suburban Kings and Kings Of The Weekend have a very similar drum intro

  74. S.... S....

    This is one of the best songs you've ever written Tom. It's awesome.

  75. n.... S....

    Tom... Thank you.

  76. K.... M....

    Preteding listening to blink..

    Way much better than new blink

  77. H.... J....

    lol the bass lines in this album is better than all the bass played by mark :P

  78. N.... B....

    I don't know why, but this song reminds me Box Car Racer

    N.... B....

    Nahuu Barrios yeh me too, i think that is for the kind of drum,

  79. A.... ....

    isis on my windshield

  80. B.... o....

    It's funny seeing the comments saying that this is how the new Blink album should have sounded like, when in fact, this is essentially Neighborhoods (which everyone bitched about for sound too different) but a bit better. I love what Blink is doing, and I love what Tom is now doing. Would I love for him to eventually come back? Hell yeah. But let's just enjoy what we have and stop bitching about everything.

    B.... o....

    Bringer of Rain the people that bitched about neighborhoods sounding too different are not the ones saying this is how the new blink album should have sounded tho

    B.... o....

    Faaaaacts

  81. Z.... S....

    Lyrically, does this remind anyone of Rites of Spring??

    Z.... S....

    yeah,the moment he said punk rock band , and school drop out, i was like,ohhhhh,yeah,this sounds familiar :D but even the melody of singing is kinda similar .

  82. Y.... C....

    This is like part 2 to Rite of Spring!

    Y.... C....

    Yyyyyoooooooooooo




    it is

    Y.... C....

    Blink182Tomforever yup where he reflects on his life and where he is now as a successful musician and entrepreneur

  83. S.... ....

    Like the song just fine, hate morons complaining it's not Blink, that's y its not called Blink. Don't like it? fuck off and listen to something else. fyi. Angels, boxcar and transplants r also not Blink, save yourself some time, take out ur tampons, and appreciate the 3 decades we got out of the guys who basically defined 90's punk.

  84. a.... i....

    Rock on Tom!
    Better than any new "Blink" stuff

  85. A.... 1....

    Get back and save Blink-182 man, its best you can do for the band, fans need you there bro

  86. F.... C....

    RIP for Blink, but ill always love u! 😂

  87. t.... ....

    Tbh the best blink song I may have ever heard is cynical. And it's under 2 mins long. Hate new blink hate old tom. They honestly seem to be doing fine w o him. It's def not the same blink. Buts it's fine. Tom was the most prolific song writer in blink but was and is the worst live performer in all of rock and roll. Stay in the studio cutie

  88. C.... ....

    i WANNA FUCK THIS SONG SO HARD

    C.... ....

    lol....I do to o.O

    C.... ....

    If this song was a chick she'd be 400 pounds with pussy zits.

    C.... ....

    Sounds hot, you're just a hater

    C.... ....

    Fridge760 that's damn sexy

  89. N.... S....

    shame he lost his shit and went crazy neighbourhoods was the best blink182 album.....i belive california was a diss album agaisnt tom d travis and mark jealous

  90. A.... A....

    if tom didnt leave blink and this song were out in blink 182 california album people will comments about comparing it between ava and blink (blink is back or too much ava in this song)
    and now people start saying that blink need tom, this is so much blink, fuck skiba, and everything else.
    i dont understand.

  91. R.... N....

    Kinda sounds like travis playing hmm 🤔

  92. M.... ....

    dude, I usually don't like this style but this shit gave me chills

  93. D.... C....

    Bombs away

  94. 1.... Q....

    thankyou tom for making a good album(: blink runs threw your veins

  95. J.... L....

    Suburban Kings > Kings Of The Weekend

    J.... L....

    Tom definitely owned this so called 'shit' lyrically, hold your horses fellow men let's just enjoy good music ☺

    J.... L....

    Need A extra sound on chorus

    J.... L....

    I agree, but you are kinda comparing apples to oranges. It would be better to compare this to San Diego, or Kings of the Weekend to Circle Jerk Pit.

    J.... L....

    Jolo Bernardo Dela Rosa soo true kings of the weekend is ass

    J.... L....

    Patrik Zajíc the only good tracks are bored to death and left alone it's not blinks fault it's the producer

  96. W.... R....

    I feel like Tom released this whole thing to be like, "Look, I can still do funny music and punk music and all that shit that isn't AVA guys, look, look!" Some of it is okay. But other songs are snooze-fests.

    W.... R....

    these were written for the new blink cd.

  97. C.... M....

    'Kings of the Weekend' sounds like this song mmm could be Suburban Kings of the Weekend so curious hehehe

  98. W.... M....

    I love Blink-182 and I think what made them good were the different contrasts between Tom and Mark. listening to their different projects just sounds incomplete. They need each other like yin and yang

    W.... M....

    idk i can definitely listen to boxcar racer and it sounds amazing

    W.... M....

    thanks for explaining everything

    W.... M....

    Or AvA's WDNTW and i-Empire and Love. LOVE2 was okay, and I haven't enjoyed his stuff so much after. Here's hoping his next album is better.

    W.... M....

    Tbh i think tom is better off without blink 182 he is much more creative and he just makes better music
