Excellent question. I've been trying to figure it out for a while. I'm too lazy to Google.

Edit: nevermind, see below.

Here it is...


WEEZER LYRICS

"Beverly Hills"

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me

I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
Beverly Hills - Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...

Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between

I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
Cause I'm the next big thing!

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
The truth is...I don't stand a chance
Its something that you're born into...
And I just don't belong...

No I don't - I'm just a no class, beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play

[Chorus]

Google is pretty useless for hard to understand lyrics, unless the band has released them in one form or another.
70% of the sites are the same copies of the wrong lyrics that sorta sound right. 10% are copies of the same wrong lyrics that sound less right and the other 20% are copies of the lyrics where in reference to the line in question would be "pretty pudding".

While I do agree the song sucks, it is far from the worst song on the radio.

I hate that song. Maybe it would make sense if it was on thier first album, but established rock stars can live in Beverly Hills if they want. WTF is he complaining about?
