Lyrics

TRYING TO BE COOL

Please don't bully me; boys don't pick on me
I'm only trying to be cool.
You meet me at the gate, my friend intimidate
I'm only trying to be cool.

All the worlds a stage, and in this scene we all contend what might have been.
Quell the wrath of boys, your sticks and stones, your playground rules, my broken bones.

Pinned against the wall, alone in dinner halls
I'm only trying to be cool.
I hear the classroom bell, wonder who I can tell
I'm only trying to be cool.

If I could jump the queue, if I could run you through
Would I be super cool, break all the rules
And this four-eyed freak become nothing?just like you.

Please don't laugh at me, kill what I want to be
I'm only trying to be cool.
And in the changing room I pray to go home soon
I'm only trying to be cool.

Wanting to be something in your eyes, your snotty nose, your kipper ties.
Try to make you laugh, I am the clown, I am the one that you're pulling down.
