Modern Dukes (3/8 Version)
Weezer · Other Songs - Weezer
I just hear the same old thing
Jerks are trying to ride my back
To the place I could be king
But I'm an asshole
Storm the castle
Burn the bridges
Down to the ground
Take no prisoners
We're just visitors
We don't care about anything
Every time that I turn around
I just head the same old crap
Chicks are trying to grease the wheels
So that they can get laid back
But I'm an asshole
Storm the castle
Burn the bridges
Down to the ground
Take no prisoners
We're just visitors
We don't care about anything
That's the way these modern dukes will think
It's every man here for himself
(solo)
I'm an asshole
Storm the castle
Burn the bridges
Down to the ground
Take no prisoners
We're just visitors
We don't care about anything
And That's the way these modern dukes will think
It's every man here for himself
