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.

My Own Way
Pennywise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for things I cannot change guess I gotta do things my own way
And I don't give a damn if you got a problem with who I am
'Cause I don't give a fuck you wanna change me well you're outta luck
I don't think that I could never ever change
And I don't know if I would want to anyway
And I don't care if never live to see the day
It's so hard to believe that we can see the world so differently
We don't realize cause we can't see the world through each other's eyes
We'll never understand I don't think that anybody can
I won't change anyway guess were both just stubborn stuck in our ways
I don't care if you never see the world like I do
