All I Ever Wanted to be was Cool

From the first day of first grade to the last day of school All I ever wanted to be was cool From the time I was teething, drowning in my own drool All I ever wanted to be was cool Didn’t want to be any doctor A fireman or a jack of all trades Didn’t want to be an attorney I just wanna make a musical racket Don’t give a shit about my tax bracket So hand me down my black leather jacket and some shades From the time I first floundered out of the gene pool All I ever wanted to be was cool Since Elvis shook his pelvis and sang “Don’t Be Cruel” Well, all I ever wanted to be was cool Didn’t want to be an apprentice Or film star signing autographs Didn’t want to build tall skyscrapers I just wanna scare pose a threat to big cities Cause panic at neighborhood committees Strike fear in all the Bible Camp kiddies making crafts ‘Cause all I ever wanted Was to feel brave and undaunted By the things the tough kids flaunted ‘round trade school Be so nice not to be taunted Have my nightly nightmares haunted Because all I ever wanted was to just…be…cool From the first tiny atom of the first molecule All I ever wanted to be was cool From the first time they made me learn the Golden Rule All I ever wanted to be was cool Didn’t want to follow no shepherds The black sheep of my family Didn’t want to be in the Boy Scouts I just wanna be the last one standing Walk away from a fiery crash landing When the universe is done expanding endlessly ‘Cause all I ever wanted Was to feel brave and undaunted By the things the tough kids flaunted ‘round trade school Be so nice not to be taunted Have my nightly nightmares haunted Because all I ever wanted was to just…be…cool
