lyrics

You think you want to be cool
You think it's time to drop out of school
You better kick back, relax, don't act such a fool
And you say..."Hey man, what am I doing here?"
"I feel so cool"

You think you've got to be cool
You know you can bend and break all the rules
You better kick back, relax, and don't act such a fool
And you say..."Hey man, I think I know what I'm doing here"
"I feel so damn cool"

You know you want to be cool
You know that you're not just 'your average fool'
You better slow down, get down, and don't blow your cool
And you say..."Look around at all these people in their flannels and their t-shirts and I'm sitting here in my straight jacket and can't think of which way to move"

So you drop a tab of acid
And you try to relax
And then you're looking round and round
From the front to the back

And he's thinking:
"Everybody's looking...everybody's looking
I must be so fucking cool
I think I lost all my marbles
And don't know what I'm here for
I can't think right
And I think I've been misheard
And now I realize that I've faced the facts
'Cause there's no such thing as cool"

"I don't want to be seen
I don't want to be heard
I want to get a ride
And I want to get out
I think I'm a facade
A facade in a guise
And there's such a thing as fucking cool
And now I'm looking round and round
And everybody's looking at me
Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's looking at me"

"I thought I was cool?"
