Things were better then, once but never again.

The driver said, "Hey man, we go all the way."
   C5             A5         G5

Now this wheel is flat, and you know what else?
C5         G5       A5       F5
Guess what I received in the mail today.
C5       G5           A5             F5
Words of deep concern from my little brother.

    C5             A5            G5
The building's not goin' as it's planned. 
    C5          A5          G5
The foreman has injured his hand.
    C5         A5            G5

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#1 by keith mckinlay at Feb 15, 1974 at 11:02 PM EST
	lol replaceable. kick ass song :D it is fun :D

No Picture albert Rhythm Player	#2 by albert casualtie at Mar 20, 1974 at 9:27 AM EST
	i think it is about how he had a girlfriend. and her father was in constrution business. and when they were going out the business was great but when they broke up the business started to fail.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#3 by spencer mccarthy at Aug 11, 1977 at 2:29 PM EST
	i have no idea what this song means, but it's cool.

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#4 by Austin at Nov 8, 1982 at 9:59 AM EST
	I think that "The Giver" thing is sheer coincidence... Anyways, this is one of my favorite songs on the Blue Album. To me, personally, the lyrics are either some homage to childhood that only RIvers understands... or, a very vaguely-written metaphor that I won't get anytime soon. Oh well, great song, nonetheless.

No Picture Cory Wanna Be	#5 by Cory at May 27, 2003 at 6:32 PM EST
	weezer has confuzzling lyrics. ohh.. and whenever i sing their songs people look at me like im crazy or laugh.. errr

No Picture Alexander Wanna Be	#6 by Alexander Taule at Sep 23, 2006 at 1:44 PM EST
	i have no idea either what this is about but i think the Jonas is from (Jason-put the letters in diff order)- Jason Copper the weezer guitarist be4 brian bell and Weepel is Rivers himself...
