Overview
According to the Weezer Recording History, the song was demoed in May of 1992. Karl Koch described the song as "a weird Rivers song, possibly not intended for weezer at all". The song was leaked online through the site's demo storefront on November 7, 2020. The song was then sold to a single user when the storefront officially launched a few days later on November 11, before being sold to all users as part of the digital compilation Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years on November 22.
Lyrics
Why are we?
Do you know just why we are?
Why are we?
Why not?
