Conquistadors Of Nothing
Weezer · Other Songs - Weezer
At what should never be attempted at all
But it pays the bills
Emptiness encased in politics
Then wrapped inside a clear coat
Of waste and stupidity
Is this what you want? Is this your big plan?
It's just that it's so....
I know where you're from
Snd furthermore I know
Exactly where you're going
But I don't want to jinx it
Well you're very good at what should be considered
Nothing at all
But somehow it's not
Is this what you want?
Is this your big plan?
It's just that it's so...
Be careful what you wish for!
Be careful what you wish for!
Be careful what you wish for!...
Conquistadors Of Nothing
Conquistadors Of Nothing stands as a standout track from Weezer's 2009 album, Raditude. The song captures the band's signature power-pop sensibilities, blending jangly guitars with introspective lyrics that explore themes of ambition and emptiness. Released during a period where the group experimented with more polished, radio-friendly production, the recording showcases Rivers Cuomo's distinctive songwriting style. It fits within a broader discography that ranges from the raw energy of their debut to the melodic complexity of later works. The track remains a notable song in their catalogue, reflecting the band's ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant anthems that define their place in modern alternative rock.
