| ==Overview==
| |
| "Lullaby for Wayne" may be a reference to Wayne Lo, an American student that shot six people, killing two, at Simon's Rock College (now Bard College at Simon's Rock) on [[December 14]], [[1992]]. However, the song is not about the incident. It appears on [[Video Capture Device]] as "Lullabye for Pat," and has the title lyric changed for the occasion of Weezer's old friend [[Pat Finn]] leaving Los Angeles. This version contains the alternate opening line, "Pat's a God damn idiot, never thought you'd graduate."

| ==Lyrics==
| |
| <lyrics>Class of 1988
| |
| Never thought you'd graduate
| |
| Playin' with your guns all day
| |
| | |
| If only they could see you now
| |
| That you've learned to shoot so well
| |
| They wouldn't laugh that way.
| |
| | |
| Wayne, you know it's true,
| |
| there's nothing you can do,
| |
| so put them guns away.
| |
| | |
| Who cares what's wrong or right?
| |
| So please give up the fight
| |
| And put them guns away
| |
| | |
| All of your friends are through;
| |
| They've given up what they tried to do.
| |
| See now how happy they are?
| |
| | |
| Each with a new lease on life
| |
| A brand new car, a low-mileage wife.
| |
| Put down them guns and fall into line
| |
| | |
| Wayne, you know it's true
| |
| There's nothing you can do
| |
| So put the guns away
| |
| Who cares what's wrong or right?
| |
| So please give up the fight
| |
| And put them guns away
| |
| | |
| All your friends are through
| |
| There's nothing you can do
| |
| So put them guns away
| |
| | |
| Do do do do do do do do....
| |
| | |
| All your friends are through
| |
| There's nothing you can do
| |
| So put them guns away
| |
| | |
| Wayne, you know it's true
| |
| There's nothing you can do
| |
| So put the guns away
| |
| Who cares what's wrong or right?
| |
| So please give up the fight
| |
| And put them guns away</lyrics>
