"It Ain't Cool"


You think itÂ's cool to make me wait with baited breath for what you say
You think itÂ's cool to be the overlord of all that you survey
You think itÂ's clever beinfg clever, that you wear your fortune well
You think itÂ's cool to be the foxy one, but time alone will tell that -

It ainÂ't cool
(It ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool
(It ainÂ't cool)

You thin itÂ's cool to be the comic, making cracks at my expense
You think itÂ's cool to sit in judgement when I ainÂ't got no defense
You think itÂ's witty being witty, when you know my tongue is tied
You think itÂ's cool to be a prankster but your joks are passing ride

It ainÂ't cool
(It ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool
(It ainÂ't cool)

It ainÂ't cool to count your blessings one bye one (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool to say youÂ've done what you ainÂ't done (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool to claim your winnings when you put on your beginnings
And another persons innings has begun

You think itÂ's cool to be a sharpie as you cout me down to size
But it ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
You think itÂ's cool to brush aside the little people you dispise
But it ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
You think itÂ's niffty being niffty, and you think youÂ're no-oneÂ's fool
But you ainÂ't cool (you ainÂ't cool)
You think itÂ's cool to hold your victim up to cruel ridicule
But it ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)

It ainÂ't cool to be a clucker
It ainÂ't cool to be a crutt
It ainÂ't cool to make your mucker
Wait upon that if you but
It ainÂ't cool to think youÂ're pucker
When youÂ're tearing off a sheet
It ainÂ't cool to make a sucker out of everyone you meet
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)

It ainÂ't cool to count your blessings one bye one (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool to say youÂ've done what you ainÂ't done (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool to do subtraction, when youÂ're checking every fraction
Now your little peice of action has begun

It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
It ainÂ't cool (it ainÂ't cool)
