Lyrics

Darkened gym
Glow-stick wrapped around her wrist
She slow-danced with you
But it all went wrong
She asked if you could name the song
You didn't have a clue
So even lost in her glitter eyes
You figured out and you figured right
That that night
And for all time
No matter what you'd do
You'll never be cool
Never be cool
Never be cool
Feel it every time
Shiny folks with sparkling wine
Deign to talk to you
And as you speak
Look for any chance to leave
And find someone who shines too
Cause it doesn't matter how hard you try
You can clean up but you can't disguise
That every night and
For all time and
No matter what you do
You'll never be cool
Never be cool
Never be cool
When the world wants Japanese selvedge
You're Old Navy Jeans that stretch
When the world wants Marlboro Reds
You're just a clove
Yeah, you always say too much
You never know enough
Outside an inside joke
That makes no sense to you and you alone
(You) can hydrate, you can meditate
Put your money in an IRA
Work out six times a week
Unrivaled in your sleep hygiene
But no matter where you go you'll feel, still
Like a fraud abroad from Nowhereville
And you can try and gather clues
But no matter what you do
You'll never be cool
Oh you'll never be cool
