Story Behind The Song
I guess i got my ass kicked a lot in school, and here's my shout out to losers like me.
Song Description
By age 16, it becomes apparent that cool kids can grow up to be losers. Nobody with any self-respect wants to be pigeonholed as a brainless beauty. Besides, it's too damn hard getting all made up for school day after day. It's just a lot easier to be one of the lame kids who get their butts kicked after school, but who grow up into a person of substance.

Lyrics
Well it takes so long to get made up so perfectly
and it takes so long and i think this shit is hurting me
and when all the kids cut class and go
to krispy kreme or domino's
i'm tired of being cool, i wanna be lame
wanna do all the things that lame kids do
like get their ass kicked after school
i'm tired of being cool, i wanna be lame
well my dad was cool but now he picks up garbage
and my mom was cool but now she works at starbucks
and i'm scared of being pigeonholed
with all the blonde and beautiful
i'm tired of being cool, i wanna be lame
and i'm scared of being pigeonholed
with all the blonde and beautiful
i'm tired of being cool, i wanna be lame
wanna do all the things that lame kids do
like get their ass kicked after school
i'm tired of being cool, i wanna be lame
