    Lyrics:
    CONSPIRACY
    I don’t know about our institutions; the fairytales they taught us in class
    They never told the truth about anything; that’s just a fact
    Awe, no, we’ll never know the truth about Elvis
    You say, he’s living in Jim Morrison’s flat?
    Hiding away with Princess Diana just trying to relax?
    Tell me, what should I really try to believe? (Conspiracy)
    Yeah, tell me and I will try to believe your conspiracy (Conspiracy)
    The intel inside The War Room is hid behind a code we can’t crack
    The secret bunkers down in Grand Central are filled to the max
    And you say, a hundred and seventy-six miles outside of Vegas
    Is where Stanley filmed that spacecraft
    That’s where Tricky Dick faked the moon landing; then had a nice laugh
    (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
    Tell me, what should I really try to believe? (Conspiracy)
    (Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me; show me, show me, show me, show me)
    (Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me; know me, know me, know me, know me) Yeah, tell me and I will try to believe your conspiracy (Conspiracy)
    In the hills, in the hills, in the Ellensburg Hills, rumors of the paranormal
    There’s hole, there’s a hole, Mel’s bottomless hole; it must be some kind of portal
    Tell me, what should I really try to believe?
    You say, Elvis lives with The Lizard King? (tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)
    They’re with Princess Di, tell me one more thing…
    Tupac and Kurt Cobain, do they live there too? (show me, show me, show me, show me) Is Andy Kaufman still playing tricks on you?
    There are UFOs (Conspiracy); Art Bell told you so
    They crashed Northwest of here in New Mexico
    Check the Baltic Sea (Conspiracy), on the ocean floorSwear to secrecy and tell me just one more
    Conspiracy (Conspiracy)
    Conspiracy (Conspiracy)

    The Rentals : one of the most underrated bands ever :(

      To add to your correct observation: If you listen to The Rentals and to Chopper One, you'll realize what made the Blue Album so special, and why it's such a standout among the rest of Weezer's catalog. Sharp, Cropper, and Wilson had more significant impact on that album than what's revealed in the liner notes. (And probably the royalties.) In fact, for my money, "Now Playing" and "Return of the Rentals" are considerably better than anything =W= released after the Blue Album. Wilson did his own thing, too, called The Special Goodness. I saw them at an underground club circa 1999/2000. His sound was definitely the widest outlier imo. I'll never forget the haunting lyrics "..be careful what you wish for!" and still have intrusive rememberances of that line from time to time.

    The Rentals were the first show I ever went to as a teenager. February of 1996 in Philly. I still love this band...they're still pumping out great songs. Q36 is a phenomenal record.

    Holy Shit, what a rad song, The Rentals are so underrated, I always wonder how legendary Weezer would've been if Sharp had stayed, it's sincerely sad to know that something legendary will never be discovered, thankful to have went with Sharp and The Rentals.

      As much as I want to agree with you, had =W= been less dysfunctional, maybe we would have missed out on the Rentals and that Chopper One album? When I was 17 I loved Weezer and was basically a Rivers superfan. But discovering the Rentals and Chopper One was like a first look at the cracks in the veneer. ("Hmm, that sure looks like Matt Sharp?" Then moments later, "and wow, that looks like Patrick Wilson, too. What's up with this?") Eventually I started to perceive a certain member of =W= as a despot who seemed a little too eager to take all the credit. It broke me as a Weezer fan. Present day I consider myself more of a "Blue Album fan" and not really a Weezer fan ..almost at all.

    2:16 Rev Bob Joyce. For the past 2 years I have tried to tell myself he's not Elvis, but I really have to convince myself he isn't. Judge or think whatever you want about me. Reading the comments on his videos is pretty astounding too. So many people believe he is Elvis and I still can't believe this has never hit mainstream media. Really glad Matt slipped this one into the video. Wonder what his take is on it. Look into Rev Bob Joyce. Just hearing his voice is reward enough.
