"Don't Pick on Me" (also known as "Big Chip") is a Maladroit-era demo recorded by Weezer.

Appearances

Overview

"Don't Pick on Me" is first known to have been demoed by Weezer in September of 2001 at Sage and Sound Recording in Los Angeles, early in the recording process for the band's planned fourth album (what would eventually become Maladroit). These sessions were the first recording sessions to feature bassist Scott Shriner. Weezer's demo at Sage and Sound, as well as four additional demos from the proper Maladroit sessions at Cello Studios, were among dozens of demos released for free on weezer.com during the album's recording process. Ultimately, "Don't Pick On Me" did not appear on Maladroit.

Lyrics

Go with the flow
It's the morning after
Don't pick on
Don't pick on me

'Cause I don't believe in a burn like that,
I pick up my donuts for free
And when she comes 'round
Her big chip captures me

So get with the groove
'Cause it hurts me so bad
Don't trifle
Don't stifle me

'Cause I don't expect to be torn to shreds
Every time I am in need
And when she comes 'round
Her big chip captures me

And when she comes around
Her big chip spoils the sound

And I don't expect to be torn to shreds
Every time I am in need
And when she comes 'round
Her big chip captures me

And when she comes around
Her big chip spoils the sound

Get with the groove
Because it hurts me so bad
Don't trifle
Don't stifle me
