Troublemaker

weezer - 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 *****.

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 ***.

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

[02:35.39](keep it on the up)

[02:37.19]i’m a troublemaker

never giving up.
