Pennywise's current line-up consists of Jim Lindberg (vocals), Fletcher Dragge (guitars), Randy Bradbury (bass) and Byron McMackin (drums). They had kept their original line-up together until bassist Jason Thirsk died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1996, due to issues with his alcoholism, after which Bradbury joined as his replacement. In August 2009, Lindberg decided to leave the band; he was replaced in February 2010 by Ignite singer Zoli Téglás. With Téglás, the band recorded their tenth studio album All or Nothing, which was released on May 1, 2012. Lindberg rejoined the band later that year after Téglás was sidelined by a back injury.

Pennywise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life yeah taking over the sea
My life is a path to glory, no frills for me
One world yeah is it good enough?
I said one world yeah is it bad enough
One world as a path to glory, no frills for me
You’re All the Same
but you just contribute to the lies they sold you well
I got some news for you. You don't talk for me
One world is it good enough?
I said one world yeah is it bad enough
One world as a path to glory no frills for m
The lyrics of Pennywise's song Am Oi! can be interpreted as an expression of the band's frustration with societal and political issues. The first verse, "My life taking over the country, My life yeah taking over the sea, My life is a path to glory, no frills for me" highlights the idea that the singer's individual experience is more powerful than what is going on in the larger world. They are taking control of their own destiny and seeking their own path to success, without any unnecessary embellishments or distractions.
The second verse, "You’re All the Same, So you think you're something you think you know yeah, but you just contribute to the lies they sold you well, I got some news for you. You don't talk for me" is a direct address to those who blindly follow the status quo. The singer is saying that these people are all the same, just going along with what they are told without any critical thinking. They are not representative of the singer's own beliefs or perspectives.
The chorus, "One world yeah is it good enough? I said one world yeah is it bad enough, One world as a path to glory, no frills for me" seems to be a call for unity among all people, regardless of their differences. The singer is questioning whether or not the idea of a "one world" is enough to bring people together, or if it will just lead to more problems. Ultimately, the singer seems to be advocating for a world where everyone is free to live their own lives and pursue their own goals without unnecessary interference or oppression.
Overall, the lyrics of Am Oi! convey a message of rebellion against the status quo and a desire for personal freedom and autonomy. It is a rallying cry for those who are tired of being told what to do and want to take control of their own lives.
