We Opened For Weezer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We opened for Weezer
First time on the road
Some of us had never even been in the snow
Following along in our rental van
Back when Matt Sharp was still in the band called Weezer Watching every night from the crowd
Saw a kid rush the stage and take the bass amp down

[Pre-Chorus]
The Wawa ruling over 7-11
It was Nerdcore heaven
In ’97 with


[Chorus]
Weezer, whoa-oa-oa
Singing “Say It Ain't So-oh-oh-oh”

Whoa-oa-oa-oa
And the kids kept singing along
(Whoa-oa-oa-oa)
In the Pittsburgh snow-oh-oh
(Whoa-oa-oa-oa)

We opened for Weezer
It was a dream come true
Our video was playing on the MTV2
Right about the time that Buffy started slaying
We were on tour
And we were playing with...
Weezer, they were
Singing the blues
Pinkerton was getting
Some bad reviews
The guy from Rolling Stone
Didn’t like the songs
The guy from Rolling Stone
Was totally wrong about...


Weezer, whoa-oa-oa
Singing “Say It Ain't So-oh-oh-oh”
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
And the kids kept singing along
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
In the Pittsburgh snow-oh-oh
Whoa-oa-oa-oa

The Chameleon in Lancaster, Asbury Park
The Metropol in Pittsburgh, Raleigh and Marrz
Winston-Salem, Charleston, Charlotte and Louisville (Louisville!)

The Flood Zone in Richmond, Norfolk, VA
Columbus, Ohio, The Newport Music Hall
The Rave in Milwaukee, the Barrymore Theatre in Madison
Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin!
We opened for Weezer
First time on the road
Mid-Atlantic states
Watching every show
Following around in
Our rental van
Half Japanese girls
Singing God-Damn...


With Weezer
Matt, Pat
Brian and Rivers

Butterfly song giving
Everyone shivers

Karl was rad
And Karl was gnarly

We were sitting backstage
With Mykel and Carli and...


Weezer, whoa-oa-oa
Singing “Say It Ain’t So-oh-oh-oh”
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
And the kids kept singing along
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
In the Pittsburgh snow-oh-oh
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
And the kids say you might as well
(Jump)

Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Singing “Say It Ain’t So-oh-oh-oh”
