Weekend
Dictator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh weekend
Benny took downs in class
The principal found his stash
His mother's gonna get his ass

Oh Weekend
In his room he'll stay
Dreamin' when he's king he'll say
Everyday is Saturday

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older
But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Oh Weekend
Bobby is a local punk
Cuttin' school and getting drunk
Eating at McDonald's for lunch

Oh Weekend
Soon he threw up in the store
But if he does it anymore
I'll make him eat it off the floor

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older
But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Oh Weekend
Time to go a bit insane
Beatin' up the kids from Spain
I'm tired of this social change

Oh Weekend
Flashing rock and roll guitars
Cruising in my daddy's car
I'll do my homework in the bar

Set me free
I might know better when I'm older




But until then
Just give me a sopor for the weekend

Overall Meaning

The song "Weekend" by Dictators is a high-energy punk rock anthem about the desire for freedom and rebellion from the constraints of school and society. The lyrics describe a group of rebellious teenagers who are willing to do anything to break free from their mundane lives and take control of their own destinies. The three verses tell the stories of three different characters, each of whom is trying to escape in their own way.


In the first verse, Benny is a rebellious student who gets caught with drugs at school. His mother is going to punish him for his actions, but Benny is dreaming of a day when he'll be a king and every day will be like the weekend. The second verse is about Bobby, a local punk who skips school and gets drunk at McDonald's. When Bobby throws up in the store, the singer threatens to make him clean it off the floor. Finally, in the third verse, the singer wants to go "a bit insane," beating up the "kids from Spain" and playing rock and roll music while cruising in their father's car.


The song's lyrics are all about breaking free from the constraints of society and reveling in youth and rebellion. The lyrics are fast-paced and frenetic, perfectly capturing the energy of the punk rock genre. The music and lyrics are a perfect match, creating a song that is full of excitement and free-spiritedness.

Jak oni to wtedy robili, ten klimat, ten styl, te nuty... Wiadomo, ze dla kazdego lata mlodziencze zawsze beda najlepsze, a wraz z nimi muza z tamtego okresu, ale cos mi sie wydaje ze rocknrolle z lat 50-tych czy ulubione klimaty Kajka i Kokosza to sa jakies takie chujowe... 😄😄😄
