I don’t understand, it’s so in to be unaffected
They only like the cynical bands, the bubble gum and the disconnected
They point and laugh, at everybody who believe in something
Let them laugh, I’d rather be alive so we’ll be

Chorus
Singin’ and smilin’ and laughin’ and cryin’
And pourin’ out our hearts to Jesus
Jokin’ and lovin’ and carin’ and
Wearin’ my heart upon my sleeve
If it’s hip to be dead inside, I’d rather be a fool
Cuz life is way too precious, to spend it bein’ cool

Just act like you don’t care, that’s the way to be a cool kid
A bored, blasé empty stare, is all you need to be a cool kid

They never fail cuz they don’t attempt to do anything
But ridicule, be cynical, I’d rather be uncool
