Lyrics

Cool Reprobate

So I stand accused, while I?m battered and bruised
That don?t leave me uninhabitable
Dead on my feet like a zombie in heat
That don?t make me irrefutable
Magazine girls put my mind in a whirl
That don?t make me a consumer
I?m slathered in hate like some cool reprobate
And I know it makes me irresistible

(Chorus)
I?m a cool reprobate
I?m a cool reprobate
I?m a cool reprobate

Covered with blood like some jack-booted thug
That don?t make me irresponsible
Squashed like a bug then swept under the rug
Don?t you know it makes it impossible
Mean-spirited waif, ?cause it?s so cool to hate
That don?t make me undesirable
I?ll never do well, man I?ll go strait to hell
It only makes me irresistible

(Chorus)
I?m a cool reprobate
I?m a cool reprobate
I?m a cool reprobate
I?m a cool reprobate

I Can?t slake my thirst, always need to be first
I know it makes me undeniable
No strings on my purse, like my soul might just burst
I know it makes me unimaginable
My dreams were refused, man don?t call me abused
It only makes me incompletable
I?ve got no time for love, just a push and a shove
I know it makes me irresistible

(Chorus)
