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 ↴
But I won't be fooled again
I need some time to figure it out
And put things on the mend
They say that time heals all
Well I hope that's true for me
Been stabbed in the back so many times
Just need a reason why can't I just justify
All the pain and suffering
Yell Out in defiance
Your world's not for me
Confused on a path down a one-way street
Blind from what I can't see
I did it once before like some stupid trend
But I won't be fooled again
Blank stares from a million eyes
That are looking back at me
I sit around and ask myself
Just what the fuck they see
Am I all that you ever wanted
Do I fit your policy?
Won't be a victim of your mad disease
Or your uniformity

The singer needs some time to figure things out and put them on the mend. He has been stabbed in the back so many times and has a troubled history. The song tells us that time heals all, but the singer is not sure if that is true for him. He is in pain and suffering, and he just needs a reason to justify his feelings.
Despite his confusion and being on a one-way street, he won't be fooled again. He has done it once before like some stupid trend, but he won't fall for it again. He yells out in defiance because he knows that the world is not for him, and he needs to stand up for himself. He is tired of the blank stares from a million eyes that are looking back at him, and he is confused by what they see. He sits around asking himself what they want from him. He is not sure if he fits their policy or if he is all they ever wanted.
The singer refuses to be a victim of their mad disease or their uniformity. He wants to be true to himself and make his own way in the world. The song ends with a powerful message of defiance, telling us that we do not have to fit into the world's mold or be what others want us to be.
