We Opened for Weezer

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 their bass amp down
The wah-wah ruling over 7-11
It was nerd-core heaven in '97 with Weezer

Whoa
Singing "Say It Ain't So"
Whoa
And the kids kept singing along
Whoa
In the Pittsburgh snow
Whoa

We opened for Weezer, it was a dream come true
Our video was playing on the MTV2
Right about the time that Buffy started slayin'
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
Singing "Say It Ain't So"
Whoa
And the kids kept singing along
Whoa
In the Pittsburgh snow
Whoa

The Chameleon in Lancaster, Asbury Park
The Metropol in Pittsburgh, Raliegh at 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 Theater 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 "Goddamn" with Weezer

Matt, Pat, Brian, and Rivers
"Butterfly Song" giving everyone shivers
Karl was rad, and Karl was gnarly
We were sitting back stage with Mykel and Carli and Weezer

Whoa
Singing "Say It Ain't So"
Whoa
And the kids kept singing along
Whoa
In the Pittsburgh snow
Whoa

And the kids say you might as well (jump, jump, jump, jump)
Whoa
Singing "Say It Ain't So" (jump, jump, jump, jump)
Whoa
And the kids say you might as well (jump, jump, jump, jump)
Whoa
In the Pittsburgh snow (jump, jump, jump, jump)

Whoa
And the kids say you might as well (jump, jump, jump, jump)
"Say It Ain't So" (jump, jump, jump, jump)
Singing "Say It Ain't So" (jump, jump, jump, jump)
Singing "Say It Ain't So" ((jump, jump, jump, jump)
Might as well jump
