We Opened for Weezer - Nerf Herder

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

The Wawa ruling

Over 7−11

It was Nerdcore heaven

In '97 with…

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»
