Lyrics
It's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
But it hurts to be lickin’ my wounds
When I'm running to run
And it pays to be kind
So don't you pay me no mind
Because it's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
Staying up late at night
Waking up late at day
Theirs bottle of sunshine
Sitting by a window pane
It's all blending together
Delusions of grandeur
Take a drive to forever
In a broken down ford ranger
It's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
But it hurts to be lickin’ my wounds
When I'm running to run
And it pays to be kind
So don't you pay me no mind
Because it's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
Guess i'm just the clown
The clown with the frown
These big ole red shoes are just a weighing me down
Like i'm stuck to the ground
Just want to fly trapeze
But i don't want to fall
So i pick up the phone and give my brother a call
Ain't nobody home
Where all the wild things roam
Now i'm out in the woods
Completely alone
It's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
But it hurts to be lickin’ my wounds
When I'm running to run
And it pays to be kind
So don't you pay me no mind
Because it's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
It's all moving so fast
Now the futures the past
Swirling round in a glass
A puff a puff pass
It's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
But it hurts to be lickin’ my wounds
When I'm running to run
And it pays to be kind
So don't you pay me no mind
Because it's cool to be cool
It's fun to be fun
It’s cool to be cool
And It’s fun to be fun
