where the real cool kids go to sit around
and talk bad about the other kids

and cubby's making mean jokes about you

and they'll laugh at the toughskin your mom got you from sears

cause it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
you're fat and ugly and an imbecile too
and that's why they draw funny pictures of you
and talk bad about all the kids
cause it's a real cool club and you're not a part of it
yeah it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
yeah it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
yeah it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
Cool Kids - Screeching Weasel
Released on the 1996 album Bark Like A Dog, Cool Kids is a quintessential example of the noise rock and punk revival movement that defined the mid-90s. The track features Screeching Weasel's signature high-energy delivery, characterized by rapid-fire vocals and distorted instrumentation that pushed the boundaries of traditional punk structures. As a staple of their discography, the song captures the frenetic spirit of the era, blending aggressive guitar work with chaotic rhythmic patterns typical of the genre. It remains a defining recording that showcases the band's ability to create intense, visceral soundscapes while addressing themes of youth culture and social alienation through their unique sonic lens.
