==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." | |||

*[[Jason Cropper]] – rhythm guitar, backing vocals | |||
*[[Matt Sharp]] – bass guitar, backing vocals | |||
*[[Patrick Wilson]] – percussion | |||

==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> | |||
