Birth of uncool

I don't understand; it's so in to be unaffected.
they only like the cynical bands; bubble gum & disconnected
they point and laugh at everybody who believes in something
let them laugh, i'd rather be alive so we'll be
singin & smilin & dancin & cryin & pourin out our hearts to jesus
jokin' and lovin' and carin' & 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
they point and laugh at everybody who believes in something
let them laugh, i'd rather be alive so we'll be
singin & smilin & dancin & cryin & pourin out our hearts to jesus
jokin' and lovin' and carin' & 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!
