Overview

Rivers Cuomo recorded an acoustic demo of "Attention Deficit Disorder" at the band's rented office space on September 7, 2003,[1] as a potential track for the band's planned fifth album. Cuomo revisited the song years later, in the years leading up to the release of Weezer's ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End.

The 2003 demo of "Attention Deficit Disorder" one of hundreds of demos leaked onto riverscuomo.com on November 7, 2020. A few days later, on November 11, the song was listed and quickly sold to a user on the site's demo storefront, where it was thereafter shared among fans. That same month, demos of the song were sold as part of the digital compilations Alone IX: The Make Believe Years and Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years.

Lyrics

2003 demo

In the morning I rise
Wipe a tear from my eyes
There is nothing to say
It's another new day

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder

I have tried to be smart
But I can't play my part
I am damaged inside
I can learn how to hide

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder

Can you hold me?
Can you scold me?
I need someone to learn me

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder

Attention deficit, oh

"Attention Deficit Disorder" (ver. 2)

In the morning I rise
Wipe a tear from my eyes
It's another new day
I have nothing to say

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
I just can't get with it
I just can't get with it
Attention deficit disorder

I could be something great
But don't know what to make
My life passes me by
I don't even know why

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
I just can't get with it
I just can't get with it
Attention deficit disorder

Can you hold me?
Can you scold me?
I need someone to hurt me

Attention deficit
Attention deficit
Attention deficit disorder
I just can't get with it
I just can't get with it
Attention deficit disorder

"Attention Deficit Disorder" (ver. 3)

In the morning I rise
Wipe a tear from my eyes
It's another new day
I have nothing to say

Attention deficit

Attention deficit disorder

I could be something great
But don't know what to make
My life passes me by
I don't even know why

Attention deficit

Can you hold me?
Can you scold me?
I need someone to hurt me

Attention deficit
