Lyrics

It's Cool - Mark S. Ludes (MSL) (5-02-07 revised 9/07)
V.1
It's cool to be wicked yeah, it's cool to be weird,
Sometimes it's even cool to do things, that you might fear.

V.2
Some say it's cool to look stoned, and it's good to get smashed.
But not so cool when you're busted, for being totally trashed.

Chorus:
We make too much about being cool
Some try so hard, they look like fools.
Never too sure of whom they want to be,
So why can't cool, - just, be, me.
So, why, can't, cool, - just be me.
V.3
I'm always told, that he's so cool, and they tell me that she is too.
Just who's the one that's making these rules, and who says, who is who?

V.4
Now, isn't cool just something you are? Nothing to do with having a sweet car.
As a matter of fact, it takes more than that, to get very far.

Chorus:
We make too much about being cool
Some try so hard, they look like fools.
Never too sure of whom they want to be,
So why can't cool, - just be me?
So why can't cool, - just be me?
Bridge:
You hear it on CD
You see it on TV
You play your DVD's
So what's reality?
Solo guitar...
Hey! It?s cool, it?s just me!

Some excellent elements to this extra "COOL" song: Loved the big precise sheets of chording and the overall vibe and attitude. Liked the theme as well. As the immortal Bard said: "To thine own self..." Also liked the guitar solo. Great humbucker tone there. Also liked that edgy vibe, a lot, around 1:40.

great recording, nice vocal

Nice message.
