Weezer — Troublemaker

[Verse 1] Put me in a special school because 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 So turn off the TV, '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 football I'll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I picked up a guitar, what does this signify? I'm going to play some heavy metal riffs and you will die You wanted arts and crafts? How's this for arts and crafts? Wanannanananananananananananananana, that's right! I'm growing out my hair, I'm moving out to Cherokee I'm going to be a rock star and you are going to bear with me Because I can't work a job like any other slob Punching in and punching out and sucking up to Bob Marrying a beeyotch, having seven keeyods Giving up and growing old and hoping there's a God [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I'm going to be a star and people will crane necks To get a glimpse of me and see if I am having sex And 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'll party by myself because I'm such a special guy [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
