Lyrics

Danny take your medicine, kiss the day goodnight,

Try to act so good and treat your teacher right,

Cause your mama and me now we gotta work all day,

To own all this stuff someone's got to pay.

Get your backpack on and get onto the bus,

Stop your running round and don't you cause a fuss,

Keep your hands to yourself and leave the dog alone,

There's eats in the fridge until we get on home.

Why can't you ever be cool?
Why must you act like a fool?

Why can't you do what I say?
Someone here has got to pay.

Why can't you ever be cool?
Why must you act like a fool?

Why can't you do what I say?
Someone here has got to pay.

Stay away from Coke, don't eat those candy bars.

Dammit sit still while we're out in the car!

Don't hit your sister, keep your hands to yourself!

I don't think the Ritalin's really gonna help!

Why can't you ever be cool?
Why must you act like a fool?

Why can't you do what I say?
Someone here has got to pay!

Why why why...can't you be cool.

Why why why, you act like a fool.

Why why why, can't you do what I say?

Someone, someone's got to pay.

Got to pay, God 2 pay now, Got to pay, Got 2 play...


a cool driving rock track with a quirky feel to it and with a voice that sounds like lou reed. really liked the music on this. the word cool was made for music like this. punkish rock elements funky too
enjoyed

This is a fun tune to listen to! Love the way the bass and the guitar alternate in the verses

Great guitar parts/tones and good strong drive to the track. Instrumentation reminds me of old Meat Puppets or firehose back in the day. Tight bass cuts trough the mix perfectly. All up really well balanced mix with a lit of detail coming through clearly. Definitely a rocker'... nice!
