Weekend Lyrics

Oh Weekend
Benny took downs in class
The principal found his stash
His mother's gonna get his ass

Oh Weekend
In his room he'll stay
Dreamin when he's king he'll say
Everyday is Saturday

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older
But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Oh Weekend
Bobby is a local punk
Cuttin school and getting drunk
Eating at Mcdonald's for lunch

Oh Weekend
Soon he threw up in the store
But if he does it anymore
I'll make him eat it off the floor

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older
But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Oh Weekend
Time to go a bit insane
Beatin up the kids from Spain
I'm tired of this social change

Oh Weekend
Flashing rock and roll guitars
Cruising in my daddy's car
I'll do my homework in the bar

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older
But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Weekend lyrics by Dictators, The

by Rankoutsider

13y ago

Perhaps a bit more than most others, this song means the Dictators are the greatest fucking band ever. It's about being the luckiest S.O.B. on Earth- an American teenage punk who only cares about loud rock music, getting intoxicated, breaking your friends balls, having fun AND OF COURSE, GIRLS. Once you're that lucky, you're always that lucky. Back when I was 15, my brother gave me a sealed copy of "Go Girl Crazy" and suddenly I didn't have any questions anymore. Life made sense. I remember thinking I would know better when I got older. Now that I have, I only know that nothing's changed. The weekend is the greatest gift of life itself. Only now I DO know it even better. D.F.F.D.
