Weezer ‘Troublemaker’ Lyrics

July 16th, 2008

This is the first track on Weezer’s new ‘Red Album’ and it’s a corker.

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

Weezer Pork and Beans Lyrics and List of YouTube Videos

May 31st, 2008

Pork and Beans is the new video from Weezer, featuring a host of YouTube video stars. Below are the lyrics for the song as well as the video, and a list links to the youtube videos that appear in the Pork and Beans video.

I have only linked the first appearance of each YouTube video, alongside the line of the song in which it appears. I think I’ve got every reference but there may be others that are so subtle that I missed them – no doubt YouTube regulars will put me straight!

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 finally 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 finally 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 finally 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.
