Founding members Chuck Robertson, Sascha Lazor, Todd Rosenberg, Carter Benson and James Malis started the group in high school but the band's membership has changed frequently since its inception. Drummer Todd Rosenberg left the band in 1999, Benson left the band in 2002, and bassist Mark Iversen left the band in 2006. The current lineup consists of:
* Chuck Robertson (lead vocals/rhythm guitar/primary lyricist)
* Sascha Lazor (lead guitar/banjo/primary composer),
* Keith Douglas (trumpet/backing vocals)
* Ed Hernandez (trombone)
* Brian Flenniken (drums/percussion),
* Cris Badham (bass guitar).
The band used to play under the name The Ivy League, but in 1996 they changed their name after signing to the Honest Don's Records label to avoid confusion (and potential litigation) with two prior bands that went by the same moniker. The band's debut album, Quality Soft Core, was released the following year. After the release of the album, the band was signed to Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords, through which the Mad Caddies have since released 4 studio albums, an EP and a live album.

Mad Caddies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world that I don't know
The end is coming soon
I think I'll lose control
Staring out my window
And it feels fine
Well, I'm sending all my signals
Said I'm sending all the signals
That I do not have a home
I said my month in up in armour
Say I really wasn't scared
Say my month in up in armour
But I do not have a way
Things are happening
So really do we ever live so fast
There's a concert
Oh but what a fucking blast
My bags are packed
In all rugged up
There's one thing left to say
I'll make you take the fall
Then I'm doin' it my own way
My mind's locked up
In a world that I don't know
The end is coming soon
I think I'll lose control
Are you happy working mornings?
Are you happy working nights?
Are you happy on your time off?
When your high?
Here we go were back again
In the same rut with the same friends
Doin' it like we did the year before
Ya got no money got no car,
Got no woman so there you are
Your empty, sold out and depressed
Well, you can run and you can hide
From the trouble that is deep inside
You're master of your own destiny and fame
Things to do
Got a place to go
Got a cut the line
Got a make the next show
Got a make everything work out alright
What do we have to say for ourselves...
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
The lyrics to Mad Caddies' song "No Se'" delve into feelings of uncertainty and disconnection. The opening line, "My mind's locked up in a world that I don't know," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it explores the sensation of being lost, adrift, and on the verge of losing control. The singer seems to be struggling to find their place in the world, seeking some sort of anchor or direction amidst the chaos and confusion of modern life.
The chorus takes on an introspective and slightly paranoid tone, as the singer questions the motives of others and wonders what's really going on beneath the surface. "Are you happy working mornings? Are you happy working nights? Are you happy on your time off? When you're high?" These lines suggest a sense of alienation and separation from others, as if the singer is stuck in their own world while everyone else is carrying on with their own lives.

My mind's locked up
My thoughts are trapped in my head
In a world that I don't know
In a place that is unfamiliar
The end is coming soon
The conclusion is rapidly approaching
I think I'll lose control
I believe I will lose authority over myself
Staring out my window
Looking through my windowpane
And it feels fine
And it seems alright
Well, I'm sending all my signals
I'm conveying my thoughts and emotions
But I stiffen so I'm long
But I become paralyzed and not capable of motion
Said I'm sending all the signals
I'm expressing all of my inner ideas
That I do not have a home
That I do not belong anywhere
I said my month in up in armour
I declared myself ready to face anything
Say I really wasn't scared
I pretend that I wasn't afraid
But I do not have a way
But I am lost without a proper path
Things are happening
Events are unfolding
So really do we ever live so fast
Do we ever truly appreciate life's pace?
There's a concert
There's a musical performance
Oh but what a fucking blast
What a great time it is!
My bags are packed
My bags are prepared
In all rugged up
Fully bundled up
There's one thing left to say
There's one final statement to be made
I'll make you take the fall
I'm going to make you falter
Then I'm doin' it my own way
Then I'm doing it on my own terms
Are you happy working mornings?
Are you satisfied working in the morning?
Are you happy working nights?
Are you content working at night?
Are you happy on your time off?
Are you pleased with your free time?
When your high?
When you're feeling euphoric?
Here we go were back again
Here we go again, we're stuck in the same situation
In the same rut with the same friends
In the same cycle with the same companions
Doin' it like we did the year before
Doing it just like we did the previous year
Ya got no money got no car,
You have no money, no car,
Got no woman so there you are
You have no partner, that is your situation
Your empty, sold out and depressed
You are exhausted, depleted, and gloomy
Well, you can run and you can hide
You have the option to flee or hide
From the trouble that is deep inside
From the turmoil that bothers you inside
You're master of your own destiny and fame
You alone control your fate and popularity
Things to do
Actions to be completed
Got a place to go
I have somewhere to be
Got a cut the line
I have to bypass the queue
Got a make the next show
I have to ensure that I attend the next exhibition
Got a make everything work out alright
I have to fix everything so it's satisfactory
What do we have to say for ourselves...
What explanation can we provide for ourselves?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I'm clueless, I'm unaware, I have no answer
