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

It ain't cool
(It ain't cool)
It ain't cool
(It ain't cool)

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

It ain't cool
(It ain't cool)
It ain't cool
(It ain't cool)

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

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

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

It ain't cool to count your blessings one bye one (it ain't cool)
It ain't cool to say you've done what you ain't done (it ain't coo
