Weezer Weezer (Red Album) Lyrics
1.Troublemaker

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 lesson 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

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 that 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
Wananana...
That's right!
I'm growing out my hair
I'm movin' out to Cherokee
I'm gonna be a 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 ???
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 and 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
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.


2.The Greatest Man That Ever Lived

You try to play cool
Like you just don't care
But soon I'll be playin' in your
Underwear
I'm like a mage
With the magic spell
You come like a dog
When I ring yo' bell
I got the money
And I got the fame
You got the hots
To ride on my plane
You givin' me all
That I desire
'Cos down with me
I'm taking you higher

I'm the baddest of the bad
I'm the best that you've ever had
I'm the tops, I'm the king
All the girls get up when I sing, yeah
I'm the meanest in the place
Step up, I'll mess with your face
I don't care where you are
Look up and follow the star.

I, I'm gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be givin' me your all. (Ooo hoo)

After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
I've got to answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot.

Oh baby,
I've been told I'm goin' crazy.
Oh baby,
I can't be held down.
Oh baby,
Somehow I'm keeping it steady.
Oh baby,
I'm tearing up this town.

Hey, this is what I like
Cut my heart with a modern spike.
Hey, this is nothing new
I've got more than enough for you.

I can take on anybody
I can do my thing
I don't wanna hurt nobody
But a bee has got to sting
I'ma fix it if you mix it up (Hoo, hoo)
Talk smack, and I'ma gonna shut you up. (Hoo, hoo)

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give. (I was born to give.)
I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh
Radioactive (radioactive)

Somebody said all the worlds is stage,
And each of us is a player.
That's what I've been tryin' 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 because I was born to shine.
And 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 the stage.

I'm the greatest man that ever lived...
I'm the greatest man that ever lived...
I'm the greatest man that ever lived...
Radioac- (-dioac-) -dioac- (-dioactive)

I am the greatest ever lived.
I was born to give.


3.Pork and Beans

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 that transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you lost your cool

I'mma 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 (Hey, hey)
With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along (Hey, hey)
Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts
Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art

I'mma 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'mma 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


4.Heart Songs

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat
that sank in the lake at the break of the morning
A Cat named Stevens found a faith he could believe in
And Joan Baez, I never listened to too much jazz
But hippie songs could be heard in our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang about how much he loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar were there day John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said he had a hungry heart
Grover Washington was happy on the day
he topped the charts, 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 singin'

Quiet Riot got me started with the bangin' on my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Slayer taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though, sometimes I would listen to the radio
Debbie Gibson, tell me that you think we're all alone
Michael Jackson's in the mirror,
I've gotta have faith if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up, wish me love or 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 I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singing

Back in 1991, I wasn't havin' any fun
'Till 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 chords that broke the chains I had upon me
Got together with my bros, in some rehearsal studios
Then we played our first rock show and watched the fan base
start to grow.
Signed the deal that gave the dough to make a record of our own
The song come on the radio, now people go: this is the song

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singing

These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing


5.Everybody Get Dangerous

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!)


6.Dreamin'

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

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

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
(Woo hoo) Hoa
(Woo hoo) Hoa
(Woo hoo) 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!


7.Thought I Knew

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!
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!


8.Cold Dark World

I can watch little girl from the back of my car
I see you and show at the place that you are
Groceries spillin' up out of your bag
Thinkin' 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 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 that you're thinkin' I'm trying to score
But deep in your heart you know that I'm more
Than a cat or a 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 love then 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 awhile to get with the style
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 (I'm gonna be there)
Angel girl
Angel girl
I'll make you understand


9.Automatic

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

Got some
I wanna feel it every hour
Cause I wanna get into you

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


10.The Angel and the One

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 who is praying

There is another love that I would rather be 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 noone 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
Peace, shalom, peace, shalom
Peace, peace
