I Don't Want To Be Cool

Art Paul Schlosser · Songs I Forgot That The Elephant Remembered

Chorus:

I don't want to be cool

I just want to be me

There are many who do

They're not really free



I don't want to be cool

But I'm willing to see

Just what you do

If cool you could be



1.Smoking Cigarettes

Taste bad to me

Driving real fast

Is living dangerously

Doing lots of drugs

Has proven deadly

If that's being cool

Than I'd rather be me



2.Buying lots of clothes

To look like others do

Spending lots of cash

And going broke too

Your not pleasing yourself

Your just trying to be cool

I'd rather shop at goodwill

Than be a fool



3.Not everything that's cool

Is really cool

Find out if

It's safe to

Don't do everything

The other people do

If they jumped off a cliff

Would you jump too

I Don't Want To Be Cool
