about

This song was inspired by my time working for Greenpeace, watching people cooler than me pretending I didn't exist (I haven't noticed any significant change before or since)

lyrics

Cool, cool cool cool


I wish that I was cool like you
in a day glo daze, subtle as a typhoon
living life with little malaise delivering cute haikus
While I'm drenched in sweat, extending my bayous
up to the heavens, on a basis seven eleven in search
of a recession from this depression leaving me in the lurch
no celestial concession or confessions in my church
cos every lesson leaves sour impressions and the resulting aggression hurts,
So, what can I do?
When I wish I was cool like you?

an entire generation of entitled overgrown abortions
That should carry tattoos above the underoos that say "debate with caution"
Because that face I wish I could erase so distorted such contortions
isn't it awful? every brain should be a banquet but these can't muster a morsel
But I still wish I was cool like them...
from this top crop of tip top shop crop topped flip floppers
sucking on cough drops nonstop ironically on it hip hoppers
Used to stop em in the street, while working with greenpeace
give me a look like I'd been sick at their feet.
On their ironic fashion statements
