Weezer: Pork and Beans Meaning

Song Released: 2008

Pork and Beans Lyrics

They say
I need some Rogaine
To put in my hair
Work it out at the gym
To fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades
That transform a tool
You'd hate
For the kids to think
That you lost your cool

I'mma do the things
That I wanna do

   This was Rivers giving the middle finger to Geffen records. They wanted the new Weezer album to sound "more commercial". On a more general level, this song is pretty straightforward -- I'm ok, I'm happy with who I am, and if you don't like it, tough.

   It's basically saying that they (Weezer) won't conform to society's rules.

   i think this is about how either what caliban78 said about him stickin it to the man but i also think it can be about not falling for society's fad's. like pop music, silly bands, and those awkward boots girls wear. it's also something my chemical romance did with one of their new songs. the lyric "Timbaland knows the way To reach the top of the charts Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art" i think refers to him being experimental. in an interview he said he's always been experimenting in his music. like in their new album when they did songs with rappers.

   To me, this song sounds like he's saying "Fuck You" to modern day society. I completely agree with him.
