Foolish Father Lyrics

Simple love songs
Drenched in poisons
I've been out of long

Hesitate to throw your stones
When criminals are victims
Looking back into our past
There's no cause for these symptoms now

Forgive your Foolish Father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you

Think of how destroyed he feels
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart

Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you

Please Remember your dad
Although he's been astray
How comical
The stuff that makes a man

Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you

Anything for you, anything for you
Anything, anything, anything for you
Anything for you

Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end

Foolish Father Song Chart

This song finds Rivers Cuomo asking someone to forgive the poor parenting skills of their dad. He told NME the lyrics, "could be me singing about my father or me singing about my daughter."

Rivers' father, Frank Cuomo, walked out on his family in the mid-'70s, when the Weezer frontman was about four. Rivers saw Frank infrequently after that and he sung about his absent dad on Weezer's 1994 hit "Say It Ain't So." They renewed their relationship around the time "Say It Ain't So" was released and Frank has become a big presence in his son's life in recent years. "Now I see him all the time," Rivers told Rolling Stone. "Now that I'm a father, I've forgiven my parents."
