Track 5 on Weezer’s SZNZ: Autumn, Should She Stay Or Should She Go sees the narrator dealing with conflicting emotions over someone he’s known and loved for a long time.
The title is also likely a reference to the famous song by The Clash, “Should I Stay or Should I Go.”
[Intro: Rivers, Scott and Brian]
Maybe think Old Testament?
Old Testament?
Old Testament? You mean the metal band?
[Verse 1]
This garden was an Eden, all summer long
But now the leaves are turning, where did I go wrong?
She's been off in the dark, at the Tree of Life
Worshiping a serpent, taking in his lies
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me God, tell me God
How would you handle this? How should I handle this?
[Chorus]
Should she stay, or should she go, go, go?
I don't know (ho, ho)
I don't know (ho, ho)
Should she stay, or should she go, go, go?
She is all I know, I can't let her go
[Verse 2]
She's the Queen of the Earth, and I'm her king
But lately we've been fighting about everything (And nothing)
I could kick her ass out, move on with my life (Nice knowing ya)
Or I could follow her into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me God, tell me God
How would you handle this? How should I handle this?
[Chorus]
Should she stay, or should she go, go, go?
I don't know (ho,ho)
I don't know (ho, ho)
Should she stay, or should she go, go, go?
She is all I know, I can't let her go
[Outro]
Should she stay or should she go, go, go?
I don't know (ho, ho)
I don't know (ho, ho)
Should she stay or should she go, go, go?
She is all I know, I can't let her go
