I played this at a pavement themed open mic night once - it was so nice to play at a tribute/open mic dedicated to Pavement! People should put on Pavement themed nights more!
Out beyond the call of duty -- Hold your instincts hostage and stick near me Let's drink a toast -- it's the most I can stand to cry about The mental energy you wasted on this wedding invitation Let's thank the host -- you've been such a great host The roast was just so perfectly prepared Now I know you care -- now I know you care We are underused We are underused Simply put, I want to grow old -- dying does not meet my expectations Let's drink a toast to all those who arrived alive to tell About their struggles in hushed tones around a fire It's late winter -- let's sink the ship, mix our blood, just the tip A crip is sleeping on the basement stairs Oh, I know he's there -- oh, I know he's there We are underused We are underused, yeah We are under, under, under, under, underused! (We are underused.) We are under, under, under, under, underused! (We are underused.)
Weezer is one of the worst and most cheesy bands ever. This is the most overrated band in the world right now. The only solid work in their discography is their debut.
@@painpapadopoulos8120 The reason Weezer & Pavement are compared is: 1. their guitars are both discordant & heavy 2. both Steve and Rivers have jokey writing styles 3. they both defined ‘90’s guitar-rock 4. their songs are both very melodic and “non-grungy” and “non-punky.” ie: they weren’t like Pearl Jam (grunge), they weren’t like Nirvana (punk). If Weezer would have broke up after Pinkerton, or after the green album, they would be considered one of the great artists of their time, and they would have been first-ballot Rock’n Roll Hall of Famers. The albums they released AFTER the green album make them look like jokes, unfortunately. I personally like bands who keep going, so I’m glad they kept making new music and touring. If you stopped time in 2002, Weezer and Pavement would be approximately equals. Currently, Pavement is definitely considered the much better band, but they wouldn’t if Weezer had stopped in 2002.
Who would like not to grow old? To stay young forever - gross! Whoever would want to be used?! Double-gross! The man who wrote this song is obviously a pervert.
"We are uuuhuuuhuuuhuuuuunderuuuuused!" *Standing alone on the dancefloor at 4 am not giving a shit*
if you are trying to dance you are doing it wrong.
can't believe pavement predicted call of duty
Holy shit what a great tune

damn this song is so true... whenever I get a wedding invitation it bothers me all year
This is the anthem of the 90s generation and every other one to come, at least in the US of A.
Weezer is batting 2-9 (.225)
Pavement is batting 5-5 (1.000)
The roast was just so perfectly prepared..
This is our "Hey Jude"
how about it!
Li amo 💜🔥
Out beyond the call of duty --
Hold your instincts hostage and stick near me
Let's drink a toast -- it's the most I can stand to cry about
The mental energy you wasted on this wedding invitation
Let's thank the host -- you've been such a great host
The roast was just so perfectly prepared
Now I know you care -- now I know you care
We are underused
We are underused
Simply put, I want to grow old -- dying does not meet my expectations
Let's drink a toast to all those who arrived alive to tell
About their struggles in hushed tones around a fire
It's late winter -- let's sink the ship, mix our blood, just the tip
A crip is sleeping on the basement stairs
Oh, I know he's there -- oh, I know he's there
We are underused
We are underused, yeah
We are under, under, under, under, underused!
(We are underused.)
We are under, under, under, under, underused!
(We are underused.)
The keyboard intro makes me think of Spinal Tap and their Stonehenge thing for some reason.
best pavement song
This song is underused. Wish they would have played it live
really clever song
why did this become a weezer v pavement conversation? Weezer doesn't come close to pavement
Wrong
What's wrong? Weeder are simply horrible.

WE ARE UNDERUSED
First and only time Played in Concert

I guess Setlist FM is wrong: ruclips.net/video/2Fl90XjbLcc/видео.html
It's also on the Europaternum 1 release too!
that's tellin' 'em, Fernando!
Pavement is to Weezer, as a Big-mac is to accompanying Fries.
I wonder. Did they walk to school, or carry their lunch?
Boy oh boy
chorus sounds to me like a hymn, as 'Fight this Generation' does...
@Posterharpua Weezer's First album, maybe.
A-fucking-men
Pavement are so much better than Wang Chung.
