I've Had It Up to Here Lyrics
Don't wanna find myself homogenized
Don't wanna become the very thing that I despise
Don't want my mommy feedin' me culture with a spoon
Don't wanna end up with as much edge as a balloon
Don't want my ideas polluted by mediocrity
Don't want my sentiments diluted
This is important to me!
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
Don't wanna be another boy next door
Don't wanna pander to the masses anymore
Don't need the whole wide world to love me, don't wanna win the human race
Don't need my music to be less well-known than my face
Don't wanna compromise my art for universal appeal
Don't wanna be mass consumed
I'm not a happy meal!
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
I've moved out from the sticks
Nobody believed in me
Had to cut my way up
Overcome all kinds of adversity
Oh, if you think I need approval
From a faceless throng, oh
That's where you're wrong (that's where you're wrong)
So wrong
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
(I've had it)
(I've had it)
I've had it up to here
Don't wanna become the very thing that I despise
Don't want my mommy feedin' me culture with a spoon
Don't wanna end up with as much edge as a balloon
Don't want my sentiments diluted
This is important to me!
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
Don't wanna pander to the masses anymore
Don't need the whole wide world to love me, don't wanna win the human race
Don't need my music to be less well-known than my face
Don't wanna be mass consumed
I'm not a happy meal!
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
Nobody believed in me
Had to cut my way up
Overcome all kinds of adversity
Oh, if you think I need approval
From a faceless throng, oh
That's where you're wrong (that's where you're wrong)
So wrong
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
(I've had it)
I've had it up to here

This song relates to Weezer's past three albums, where they have changed their sound to try to get more appeal with non-Weezer fans. The music became mass-produced, and now Rivers is done. He realizes that he doesn't need the approval of the faceless masses who have ended up listening to this mass-produced music. He realizes this because the people who had been Weezer fans from the beginning have stopped listening to his music since it became what it was.
It's "as much edge as a balloon."
This has to be one of the best weezer tracks because it not only is it a rockin' track, it also tells you a story about the band! The first time I heard it, I thought wow, this has some heavy influence of The Darkness - and then I noticed the joint writing credits with Hawkins!!! Truly one of my favorite weezer songs..
