Weezer 'Troublemaker' Lyrics

Put me in a special school, 'cos I am such a fool,
And I don't need a single book to teach me how to read.
Who needs stupid books? They are for petty crooks,
And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams.

Turn off the TV, 'cos that's what others see,
And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice cream.
They only sicken me. Don't let me play football,
I'll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball.

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker,
Doing things my own way and never giving up.
I'm a troublemaker, not a double taker,
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 riffs and you will die.
You wanted Arts and Crafts, how's this for Arts and Crafts?
Wananananananananaanananananananana- That's right.

I'm growing out my hair, I'm movin' out to Cherokee,
I'm gonna be rock star and you will go to bed with me,
'Cos I can't work a job like any other slob,
Punch it in and punch it out and suckin' up to Bob.

Marrying a bitch, having 7 kids,
Giving up and growing old and hoping there's a God.

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker,
Doing things my own way and never giving up.
I'm a troublemaker not a double taker,
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up.

I'm gonna be a star, and people will crane necks,
To get a glimpse of me and see if I am having a sex.
In studying 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 party by myself because I'm such a special guy.

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker,
Doing things my own way and never giving up.
I'm a troublemaker not a double taker,
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up.

(Keep it on the up) I'm a troublemaker
(Keep it on the up) I'm a troublemaker
(Keep it on the up) I'm a troublemaker
(Keep it on the up) I'm a troublemaker
Never giving up
