Charlie Brown lyrics
by Rivers Cuomo
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna deal with overpasses
Everyone agrees there's too much traffic
Tell the people they should use their golf carts
I wanna be a star but I don't like my part
I don't wanna deal with Julius Caesar
Persecutin' me because I play in Weezer
I'm grateful for the roads and the aqueduct
But this is kinda starting to get what-the-f*ck
[Chorus]
I'm scared I'll use the incorrect pronoun
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
Afraid some j*rk'll pull my gym shorts down
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
If you wanna know the worst
I'm terrified to be first
I need someone to show me how (Charlie Brown)
That is why they call me Charlie Brown
[Post-Chorus]
Charlie Brown
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna deal with 3-piece suiters
Telling me that I should get a job at Hooters
What do these people know about expression?
Let me give you all an introductory lesson
I don't wanna deal with tasteless food
It's the '90s so we oughta have some ratatouille (yep)
That's what I love about the modern world (yup)
Everybody gets a chance to be misheard
[Chorus]
I'm scared I'll use the incorrect pronoun
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
Afraid some j*rk'll pull my gym shorts down
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
If you wanna know the worst
I'm terrified to be first
I need someone to show me how (Charlie Brown)
That is why they call me Charlie Brown
[Bridge]
I don't wanna deal with expectations
Just as good hanging at the Exxon station
Sitting on a mushroom underneath the tree
Why is everybody always pickin' on me?
[Chorus]
I'm scared I'll use the incorrect pronoun
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
Afraid some j*rk'll pull my gym shorts down
That's why they call me Charlie Brown
If you wanna know the worst
I'm terrified to be first
I need someone to show me how (Charlie Brown)
That is why they call me Charlie Brown
[Outro]
Charlie Brown
