Weezer Album

Put me in a special school,
'Cause I am such a fool,
And I don't need a single book to teach me how to read.
Who needs stupid books?
The alphabetey crooks,
And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams
So turn off the T.V.
'Cause that's what others see
And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice cream
They only sicken me
Don't let me play for bar
I'll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball

I'm a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin' things my own way
And never givin' up.
I'm a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up.

I picked up a guitar,
What does this signify?
I'm gonna play some heavy metal,
Wishing you would die.
You wanted arts and crafts?
How's this for arts and crafts?
(guitar solo)
(That's Right!)
I'm growin' out my hair
I'm movin' up to Cherokee
I'm gonna be a rockstar
And you are gonna bear with me
'Cause I can't book a job,
Like any other slob,
Punchin' in and punchin' out (?)
Marryin' a bi-atch,
Havin' Seven ki-ads,
Givin' up and growin' old,
And hopin' there's a god.

I'm a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin' things my own way
And never givin' up
I'm a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up

I'm gonna be star
And people will crane necks
To get a glimpse of me
And see if I am havin' sex
And studyin' my moves
They try to understand
Why I am so unlike
The singers in the other bands
I'm such a mystery
As anyone can see
There isn't anybody else
Exactly quite like me
And when it's party time
Like 1999
I'll party by myself because I'm such a special guy

I'm a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin' things my own way
And never givin' up.
I'm a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up.

Keep it on the up
(I'm a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up (UP!)
(I'm a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up
(I'm a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up (UP!)
(I'm a trouble maker)
Never givin' up

You try to play it cool like you just don’t care
But soon I’ll be playing in your underwear
I’m like a mage with a magic spell
You’ll come like a dog when I ring yo bell

I’ve got the money and I’ve got the fame
You’ve got the hots to ride on my plane
You’re giving me all that I desire
‘cos down with me, I’m taking you higher

(yelling over riffage)
I’m the baddest of the bad
I’m the best that you’ve ever had
I’m the tops
I’m the thing
All the girls get up when I sing
I’m the meanest in the place
Step up, I’ll mess with yo face
I don’t care where you are
Look up and follow the star

(falsetto)
I’m gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be giving me your all

(Bohemian Rhapsody-style choir vocals)
After the havoc I am gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
I’ve got the answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot

(80s-rock falsetto)
Oh baby
I’ve been told that I am going crazy
Oh baby
But I can’t be held down
Oh baby
Somehow I’m keeping it steady
Oh baby
I’m tearing up this town

(fast-paced rock)
Hey, this is what I like
Cut my heart with a martyr’s spike
Hey, this is nothing new
I’ve got more than enough for you

(bouncy pop)
I can take on anybody
I can do my thing
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But a bee has got to sting
Imma fix it if you mix it up
Talk smalk and I am gonna shut you up

(epic vocals)
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radio idea

(spoken)
Somebody said all the world’s a stage
And each of us is a player
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you
In act 1, I was struggling to survive
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive
Act 2, I hit the big time
And bodies be all up on my behind
And I can’t help myself
‘cos I was born to shine
If you don’t like it, you can shove it
But you don’t like it, you love it
So I’ll be up here in a rage
‘til they bring the curtain down on this stage

(Beach Boys-style overlapping vocals)
I am the greatest man that ever lived (x4)

(fact-paced pop becoming rock)
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give and give and give
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radio idea
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give
Ohhhh!

They say I need some rogaine to put in my hair
Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades to transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you've lost your cool

Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and i'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think

Everyone likes to dance to a happy song
with a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along
Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts
maybe if i work with him i can perfect the art

Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
one look in the mirror and i'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think

No, I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
one look in the mirror and i'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in the lake at the break of the morn
and a cat named Stevens found a faith he could believe in and Joan Baez
never listened to too much jazz but hippie songs could be heard in our pad
Eddy rabbit sang about how much he loved a rainy night
Devo Benatar were there the day John Lennon died
Mr Springsteen said he had a hungry heart
Grover Washington was happy on the day he topped the chart

These are the songs...
these are my heart songs
they never feel wrong

and when I wake for goodness sake...
these are the songs I keep singing

Quiet Riot got me started with the banging of my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Slayer taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though, sometimes I would listen to the radio
Debby Gibson, tell me that you think we're all alone
Michael Jackson's in the mirror
Gotta have faith if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up, this new love a wishing well
It takes two to make a thing go right, if the fresh prince starts a fight
Don't you worry for too long 'cause you know...

These are the songs...
these are my heart songs
they never feel wrong

and when I wake for goodness sake...
these are the songs I keep singing

Back in 1991 I wasn't having any fun
'til my roommate said "come on" and put a brand new record on
Had a baby on it, he was naked on it
then I heard the cold words that broke the chains I had up on me
got together with my bros at some rehearsal studios
then we played our first rock show and watched the fanbase start to grow
signed the day
made a record all our own
a song comes on the radio and now people go "This is the song"

These are my heart songs (these are my songs)
they never feel wrong (never feel wrong)
and when I wake for goodness sake
these are the songs I keep singing
(these are my heart songs)
these are the songs I keep singing
(they never feel wrong)
these are the songs I keep singing
(these are my heart songs)
these are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing

When I was younger
I used to go and tip cows for fun, yeah
Actually I didn't do that
'Cos I didn't want the cow to be sad
But some of my friends did
They were all just a little bit wicked
They'd blow up mail boxes
With a baseball bat
Go for direct hits

I know how to win you can forget it
They throw rotten eggs into traffic
Toilet paper the fences
Throw the tables, chairs, and the benches
After practice
Sometimes we would break into mad fits
Causin' damage
(Burnin' amplifiers and mic stands)

Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous

I've got a confession
That I will make if you will listen
Late in the nighttimes
We'd drive around with hairspray and sharp knives
Lookin' for road kills
Lightin' things on fire for cheap thrills
Stab the corpses
And lick the knives like we're evil forces

Hockey games on frozen ponds
No safety pads were ever put on
Drivin' home on country roads
Sixty-five in a twenty-five zone
In my parents Tercel
How did we survive so well
Throw the keys and the wheel locked up
I almost killed every one us

Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous

There must be
A guardian angel
Or some kind of destiny we have
'Cos we should have died
A long time ago
The way that we were livin' in our paths

What will we say when our kids come to us
And ask, with a smile on their face,
Hey Dad, my friend's got some new ninja swords!
Is it cool if we slash up his place?
Hey
Hey
Hey (Is it cool if we slash up his place?)
And get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)
Everybody get dangerous
Everybody get dangerous

(Ow!)
Ow!
Ow!
Gow!
Gow! (Yee, heeya!)
(Gow!)

I'm dreamin'
In the mornin'
I'm dreamin' all
Through the night
And when I'm dreamin'
I know
That it's all right
Woo, hoo, hoa

I'm dreamin'
In the evening
I'm dreamin'
All through the day
And when I'm dreamin'
I know that it's okay
Woo, hoo, hoa

Daddy says
I've gotta pay
Some bills
So I can learn
To be responsible
Some day I'll have
A family of my own
And they
Will need for me
To be full grown

But I'm dreamin'
In the mornin'
I'm dreamin'
All through the night
And when I'm dreamin'
I know
That it's all right
Woo, hoo, hoa

Teacher says
I gotta learn some facts
So I can make it in
The Widener Stacks
These are days
That will define my life
I shouldn't waste them
On these friends of mine

But I
Gotta be a big boy
('Cos I really want a chance)
Woah
Gotta pick up my toys
('Cos I really want a chance)

When I start to feel
The feeling comin' over me
(I really want a chance)
I soon forget
All about responsibility
(I really want a chance)
I walk around
In a wide-awake daydream
(I really want a chance)
Things are better out here
Than they might seem

There are bluebirds
In the meadows
And the bees
Are flying around
And the goslings
At the river
At a loss so far
From the ground

I am running
(I am running)
Through the meadow
(Through the meadow)
And the sun is
(And the sun is)
Shining on me
(Shining on me)
I am singing
(I am singing)
My voice is ringing
(My voice is ringing)
I can sing so loud
(I can sing so loud)

And the angels
(And the angels)
In the heavens
(In the heavens)
They are wondering
(They are wondering)
Why am I so glad?
(Why am I so glad?)
Why am I so glad?
(Why am I so glad?)
Why am I so
(Why am I so)
Why am I so
(Why am I so)
I am running
(I am running)
Through the meadow
(Through the meadow)
And the sun is
(And the sun is)
Shining on me
(Shining on me)
I am singing
(I am singing)
My voice is ringing
(My voice is ringing)
I can sing so loud
(I can sing so loud)

And I'm dreamin'
In the mornin'
I'm dreamin'
All through the night
And when I'm dreamin'
I know
That it's all right
Woo, hoo, hoa

I'm dreamin'
In the evening
I'm dreamin'
All through the day
And when I'm dreamin'
I know
That it's okay
Woo, hoo, hoa

(Woo, hoo)
Hoa

Hoa
(Woo, hoo)
Woah

I don't want to get
With your program
I don't want to get
With your program
I don't want to get
With your program
Take back the love

Sorry
About my past life
Sorry
But we just missed
Sorry it had to end up
Like this

Sorry
If I caused you pain
Sorry
I forgot your name
Sorry
But you left me out
In the rain

Thought I knew
You better than
Thought I knew
Your intentions
Thought I knew
But I didn't have
A clue
Not a single damn thing
Was true

Sorry
If I caused you harm
Sorry
I'm no good luck charm
Sorry
You didn't end up
In my arms

Thought I knew
You better than
Thought I knew
Your intentions
Thought I knew
But I didn't have
A clue
Not a single damn thing
Was true

Now that I
World's gone down
We've traded away
Blew out the spark
And now we're left
With broken hearts
Tryin' to find
A new place to start

Thought I knew
You better than
Thought I knew
Your intentions
Thought I knew
But I didn't have
A clue
Not a single damn thing
Was true

I can watch for you girl from the back of my car
I feel you and show at the place that you are
Groceries spilling up out of your bag
Thinking you'll end up a penniless hag
But I see the girl that you are deep inside
Won't you allow me to give you a ride
I can console you and give you a kiss
Show you that you can do better than this

Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'm gonna be your man
Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'll make you understand

I know you're thinking I'm trying to score
But deep in your heart, you know that I'm more
Than a canderous scoundrel, now that I've found you
I don't want to lose you, how can I prove
You know that I am sincere, you don't need to fear
I'm not like the others, I'll be like a brother
I will protect you, never disrespect you
But if you need lovin', I'll be here to sex you

Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there)
Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'll make you understand

It might take a while to get with the style
Of life at the end of the Miracle Mile
But you're gonna love the rising above
All the trash that is sweeping you under the rug

I'm gonna be there

Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there)
Angel girl in a cold dark world
I'll make you understand (I'm gonna be there)
Angel girl, angel girl
I'm gonna be your man (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Angel girl, angel girl
I'll make you understand (ooooh)

How am I going to
Deliver you a mountain size of love?
How do oceans connected by a straw
Get something through?

I might need some time to remember
Need some time to remember

Hey! It's automatic when you know it
Hey! It's automatic when you feel it

When do I lay down
And get to see the world inside your eyes?
How can I reach out
And hold on to the joy you've got inside?

Hey! It's automatic when you know it
Hey! It's automatic when you feel it

I got some
But I wanna feel it every hour
Cuz I want to give it to you

Hey! It's automatic when you know it
Hey! It's automatic when you feel it

It's not my destiny to be the one that you will lay with
So many reasons why I have to go but want to stay here
Sometimes I want a taste, but then I don't know what I'm saying
You are the angel and I am the one that is praying

There is another love that I would rather by obeying
I see the ecstasy, and already I'm anticipating

I feel a deeper peace, and that deeper peace is penetrating
I've got the magic in me, I am complete is what I'm saying

I'm flying up so high, my purple majesty displaying
I've reached a higher place
that no one else can make a claim in
I'll take you there my friend,
I'm reaching out my hand, so take it
We are the angels and we are the ones that are praying
Peace, shalom
Peace, shalom
Peace, peace

Bzzz.... Bzzz....
Hi, hello, Miss Sweeney?
Could you please come in my office for a second?
I'm heading home for the day
And I thought it'd be good for you and me to check in
I met with the gal from Expo
And they do have the "slab" cabinets in white
She thinks we can take the measurements
down at the site
If we do that, we'll be just fine, Miss Sweeney
That's all I got to say to you at this time, Miss Sweeney
Actually there's one other thing on my mind

Girl, you make the rain clouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting until you love me

I'm so sorry Miss Sweeney
I don't know where that came from
I think I was overcome by spontaneous emotion
Anyway, the cash deposit of $5,000 will need to be sent to the property owner tomorrow.
If there are any problems with the deposit or contract
Don't be afraid to holler,
I don't want to have a approve each stinking dollar
that we borrow
Aww forget it, Miss Sweeney

Girl, you make the rain clouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting until you love me

Miss Sweeney, I got to admit the truth
I am totally head over heels in love with you
Every day you come to the office looking fine
Navy business suit clinging tightly to your spine
You ask me if I'm ready to get down to work
Sweeney, baby, I'm ready... be my...

Girl, you make the rain clouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting until you love me
Girl, you light the skies of my life
I swear I will make you my wife
I'm waiting until you love me

When I was a baby I was so happy.
I play with my friends in the mud.
Wilbur and Jack and Otis and Beatty,
We were a gang, you got to believe me.
Momma would scold us if we got too rough
She didn't care, she was proud of us.
I ran around and talked to the animals,
Tellin' 'em stories of savage cannibals.

Then I got older and noticed a girl.
At first I was sure I didn't exist to her.
I sulker around but I didn't know why.
Then she put her cheek on my shoulder and I
Was lookin' at her and she was lookin' at me.
We started to smile it was our destiny.
Tina was her name. She was my cutie-pie.
I forgot about things that I used to like.

I spent all my time followin' her around,
My friends all made the whip-lash sound.
But they understood. They was happy for me.
And everyone clapped when I asked her to marry me.
And she said "yes" and we felt so fine.
We lost track of the passin' time.
Before I knew it we had our own babies:
Gina and Shannon and Keebie and Gabe

But now I've got to die.
I've lived a good life I've got no complaints
I'd like to thank Farmer Pete.
For bringing me scraps of food that I could eat.
He always had a smile on his face.
He didn't want to think of this day.
It's finally here.
It's finally here, oh.

Oo-oo, they called me Pig.
Oo-oo, they called me Pig.

When I was a baby I was so happy.
I played with my friends in the mud.

There's a spider on the drain and he's feeling pain
And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I
He's struggling to live but he doesn't have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I

We've got to die, we've got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die we rearrange
It's time to take it back again
It's time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you

There's nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece I'll go on my way
And fare thee well where'er you go
You might need help but I won't know
Cuz I'm up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven it could be hell
We'll never know just who we are
Cuz when we die we become a star
And stars can't talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light
We'd call out names and then start a fight
But then again that's what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
Cuz I'm in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can't win I've got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down ...the drain...
I'm insane

One night at the disco I wanted to dance slow
I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady
I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her
I told him to back off, cut me some slack off
I see you come here, drinkin' that cheap beer
Act like you own it, I can't condone it
You show me now respect, you got to get off it
You got to get with it. Time for a swift kick
You see, I own this town. You best not come around.
If you wanna get by, then cool it down.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is.
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.

You wanted attention and did I mention:
Nobody likes you, except for the losers
You made a whole army, an army of babies
Some of them stupid, some of them crazy
Pick up your action, act like a grown man
Look at the winners, you can be like them
Life is so easy, pleasant, and dreamy
If you get off me, if you get with me
You see I own this town. You best not come around.
If you wanna get by, then cool it down.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is.
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.

You can't break me
Never take me
That's just how it is
You can't break me
Never shake me
Clear out of my biz

Let's not be mean to each other
There's no need for name callin'
There's no need for chain ballin'
Let's be nice, babe, it won't kill us

Let's just be kind to each other
There's no need to go further
There's no need to chain an order
Let's be nice, babe, it won't kill us

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It's easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

Let's work it through and defuse it
There's not need for the cussin'
There's no use for ball bustin'
Let's be nice, babe, it won't kill us
Oh

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It's easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It's easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

Time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It's easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

It's so easy (Easy)
So easy (Easy)
So easy (Easy) Yeah
So easy (Easy)

(iTunes Bonus Track)

I didn't hope for much
I was used to how things were
Even though I was not sure
You say
I was throwing it away
And I never learned to heal

I can't believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love (x7)

I guess it goes to show
That you never should give up
Even when you're out of luck
You might
Find an angel in your sight
Who turns everything around

I can't believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love (x7)

Help me believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love
