Anthem Part Two presumes to whine on behalf of everybody under 18: "Corporate leaders, politicians/ Kids can't vote, adults elect them... If we're f___ed up, you're to blame." As John McCain does with the G.O.P., singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge, 25, singer/bassist Mark Hoppus, 29, and drummer Travis Barker, 25, want to make punk a big tent...
