En la tranquila ciudad de Stillwater, Oklahoma, emergió una banda que llegaría a captar la atención mundial: The All-American Rejects. Fundada en 1999 por Tyson Ritter (vocalista y bajista) y Nick Wheeler (guitarrista y tecladista), ambos eran simples adolescentes con sueños de grandeza y una pasión compartida por la música.
La química entre ellos fue instantánea. Tyson y Nick comenzaron a escribir canciones juntos y, utilizando software de grabación básico, produjeron sus primeros demos. En poco tiempo, la energía y creatividad de la dupla atrajeron la atención de otros músicos locales, completando así la primera formación de la banda.
El arduo trabajo de la banda rindió frutos cuando lanzaron su álbum debut The All-American Rejects en 2002. Este álbum, que incluye éxitos como "Swing, Swing" y "The Last Song", les permitió debutar en la industria musical con gran éxito. El sencillo "Swing, Swing" rápidamente ascendió en las listas de popularidad, llevando a la banda a una gira nacional. Esa oportunidad les brindó una exposición masiva y consolidó su presencia en la escena del pop punk y el rock alternativo.

Gonzo Song Lyrics
Gonzo by All American Rejects (Oh, oh)
I'll never forget when we started out
The beat of the drum, a face in crowd
It's better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come now not a soul can change
Remember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
It's better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life it was our turn to play
It's time
Oh, we move before it can you see the climb
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Every trial and every test
We drive to the east and we fly to the west
Just running away, just running away
We can be different 'cause they're all the same
Every night we'd ever start
Every beat of every heart
Is running away, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we can say
It's time
Only when you look forward can you see behind
Every taste we can get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Damn, condemn the light
One moment in the dark
A stand that was the sketch
A fall that wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find
Somewhere down the line
It's time
Damn, condemn the light
One moment in the dark
A stand that was the sketch
A fall that wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find
Somewhere down the line
It's time
For some it's a god, for me it's a fact
We make a mistake and try to take them all back
It's better this way, it's better this way
Out of the grind and in to the grave
It's time
Only when you look forward can you see behind
Every taste we can get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
