LYRICS

When I was a kid I thought I'd save the world
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
Shooting lasers from my eyes
But now I know it never was my destiny
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
And I don't wanna wear this cape

‘Cause on the inside
I know it won't last
On the inside
I'm an outcast

Everybody needs a hero but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone yeah, I walk alohone, eyeah
You know I tried to be a hero but I was lying to myself
I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone yeah, I walk alohone, eyeah

They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you then they hate you if you wear a crown
It’s not that I don’t love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity
If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard like I'm Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don't exist
And on the inside
I know it won't last
On the inside
I'm an outcast

You know it's good when you hear guitars in a Weezer song and Weezer themselves also appear in their own music video!

My Dad loved Weezer and went to a lot of their concerts and I am only 12 and he passed away from a heart attack on January 8th 2020 at the age of 42 and I am using his account right now if anyone from Weezer reads this I want you to know my dad loved your music and one of his favorite shirts to wear was a red, yellow and white Weezer shirt and this song really sparked joy for me for the first time in a few months so thank you for spreading joy to millions of people each day also 4 days before my Dad passed away my grandpa (his dad) passed away and not even a month after all of that we got Put in quarantine you inspired my dad to start playing guitar and also partly inspired me to start playing piano not only that but classic rock piano and I love it so thank you for giving my dad and myself inspiration to start playing instruments 🎹🎫🎸🎸🎹🎹🙏🙏Thanks for all the support and I hope that they will see my comment and know that their band just made me happy every time I listen to a song of theirs. My dad would’ve loved this song because his dad was his hero and he died 4 days before my dad did so I’m trying to convince myself that he died happy. I’m actually his daughter but thanks for all the support anyways. My Mom lost the love of her life.
I read every single comment you guys make. No matter how long so thank you.

What I love about Rivers as a songwriter is that he never tries to impress anybody - he expresses himself sincerely and genuinely through his music, without pretense, and the result is always delightful

Weezer's management: "Guys for the video just film yourself playing your respective parts and send it in"
Pat: "I sLaP a dA bAsS"

3:00 they really do gotta sneak in muppet brendon don't they

[moodylicious]

saw Rivers do this tonight on Jimmy Fallon.
I'm a mom who 'lost' her son to suicide.
Rivers was doing his thing with the change-up of 'looks' I love so much about him. He goes from a heart-throb rocker to an old soul with scraggly covid hair and 'stache in a summer fedora playing the piano.
Won't lie. I cried & cried cos he looked exactly like my guy sporting one of his 'looks' in his young life.
~~~
You keep being YOU, sweets!
You are perfect every way you are and so incredibly talented.
Your entire band is great!

[elisebowman]

Rivers dosent need a hero, but he doesn't walk alone, because he is our hero and we will all walk with him.

[RYBATUGA]

Having heard the Zoom version on piano this is a “good different”. I like both versions! I hope we get the piano version as a deluxe song

[natrod]

I KNEW THIS DAY WAS COMING BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHEN. THANK YOU, WEEZER. MADE MY DAY.

[roswell_that_ended_poorly]

THIS IS THE BEST COMBINATION OF CLASSIC WEEZER AND MODERN WEEZER

[dylangale]

1:25 the guy in the banana costume

Perfection, absolute perfection

[codyrobichaudofficial]

Weezer has seriously stepped up their game..

[jimmycummings]

The alien is van weezer and this is gonna be a concept album theory

[pm]

Time to face facts:
Weezer is the most important Rock n Roll band of the last 30 years. Also the best.

[michaelholland]

Became my favorite band way back in the 90s when I first heard "in the garage"...they will always be my favorite band. Thank you for all the great music and memories.

[CZsWorld]

The solo in this gives me Futurescope Trilogy vibes. I remember in 2014, hoping and praying that The Futurescope Trilogy was an actual preview of things to come for Weezer. The guitar work in this is beautiful.

[anthonyestradarojas]

I just got fired due to the coronavirus, and this, make the day a little bit better.

[azortics]

I have never listened to Weezer and I regret not doing so in the first place. This song is amazing
