== Lyrics == | ==Overview== | ||
[[File:105-Old_Man.jpg|thumb|right| | "Old Man" was demoed by Cuomo and Wilson in August of [[1991]]. Cuomo uploaded a scan of the song's lyrics to his [[riverscuomo.com|website]] in the early 2000s. The demo was released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone IV: Before Weezer]]'' in [[2020]]. The song's inclusion on ''Alone V'' is an apparent error, due to the presence of Wilson on the recording. The extent of Wilson's contribution to the songwriting is unknown. | ||

<poem> | <poem> | ||
She waits | She waits patiently for the RTD | ||
Sporting a fine blue wig | |||
The bus comes and she | The bus comes and she gets herself on | ||
Rolling down boulevard | Rolling down boulevard | ||
We have no goals | |||
We have no place | We have no goals | ||
And we have no point of view | |||
Or reference | |||
We have no place | |||
But the space that we are given | |||
So take | |||
He walks down to the edge of the creek bed | He walks down to the edge of the creek bed | ||
It's gone dry this | It's gone dry this year | ||
He sold his land to the man with the biggest hand | He sold his land to the man with the biggest hand | ||
Left his leash without a dog on the end | Left his leash without a dog on the end | ||
But I'm gonna try | So here we stand wondering what to say to you | ||
I'm gonna try | |||
I'm gonna try | We have no goals | ||
And we have no point of view | |||
Or reference | |||
We have no place | |||
But the space that we are given | |||
So take | |||
I'm gonna try | |||
Do it for my grandma | |||
And I'm gonna try | |||
Do it for my mother | |||
And I'm gonna try | |||
