Birth Of Uncool

The O. C. Supertones

Compositor: The O.C. Supertones

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 believes in something
Let them laugh
I'd rather be alive so we'll be

(chorus)
Singin' and smilin' and dancin'
And cryin' and pourin' out our hearts to Jesus
Jokin' and lovin' and carin' and
Wearin' my heart up on 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
Blase empty stare
Is all you need to be a cool kid

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 believes in something
Let them laugh
I'd rather be alive so we'll be

Singin' and smilin' and dancin'
And cryin' and pourin' out our hearts to Jesus
Jokin' and lovin' and carin' and
Wearin' my heart up on 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

Singin' and smilin' and dancin'
And cryin' and pourin' out our hearts to Jesus
Jokin' and lovin' and carin' and
Wearin' my heart up on 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

They never fail
Cuz they don't attempt to do anything but ridicule
Be cynical
I'd rather be uncool
