From Weezerpedia
"Lullaby for Wayne" is the twelth track from the deluxe edition of Weezer's self-titled debut.
Appearances
Overview
"Lullaby for Wayne" may be a reference to Wayne Lo, an American student that shot six people, killing two, at Simon's Rock College (now Bard College at Simon's Rock) on December 14, 1992. However, the song is not about the incident. It appears on Video Capture Device as "Lullabye for Pat," and has the title lyric changed for the occasion of Weezer's old friend Pat Finn leaving Los Angeles. This version contains the alternate opening line, "Pat's a God damn idiot, never thought you'd graduate."

Lyrics
Class of 1988
Never thought you'd graduate
Playin' with your guns all day
If only they could see you now
That you've learned to shoot so well
They wouldn't laugh that way.
Wayne, you know it's true,
there's nothing you can do,
so put them guns away.
Who cares what's wrong or right?
So please give up the fight
And put them guns away
All of your friends are through;
They've given up what they tried to do.
See now how happy they are?
Each with a new lease on life
A brand new car, a low-mileage wife.
Put down them guns and fall into line
Wayne, you know it's true
There's nothing you can do
So put the guns away
Who cares what's wrong or right?
So please give up the fight
And put them guns away
All your friends are through
There's nothing you can do
So put them guns away
Do do do do do do do do....
All your friends are through
There's nothing you can do
So put them guns away
Wayne, you know it's true
There's nothing you can do
So put the guns away
Who cares what's wrong or right?
So please give up the fight
And put them guns away
