It Ain't Cool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 beinfg clever, that you wear your fortune well
You think its cool to be the foxy one, but time alone will tell that -
It aint cool
(It aint cool)
It aint cool
(It aint cool)
You thin its cool to be the comic, making cracks at my expense
You think its cool to sit in judgement when I aint 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 joks are passing ride
It aint cool
(It aint cool)
It aint cool
(It aint cool)
It aint cool to count your blessings one bye one (it aint cool)
It aint cool to say youve done what you aint done (it aint cool)
It aint 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 aint cool (it aint cool)
You think its cool to brush aside the little people you dispise
But it aint cool (it aint cool)
You think its niffty being niffty, and you think youre no-ones fool
But you aint cool (you aint cool)
You think its cool to hold your victim up to cruel ridicule
But it aint cool (it aint cool)
It aint cool to be a clucker
It aint cool to be a crutt
It aint cool to make your mucker
Wait upon that if you but
It aint cool to think youre pucker
When youre tearing off a sheet
It aint cool to make a sucker out of everyone you meet
It aint cool (it aint cool)
It aint cool to count your blessings one bye one (it aint cool)
It aint cool to say youve done what you aint done (it aint cool)
