We're through being cool
We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
Gotta go to the moon
Too late to be a clone
Time to show the in crowd that it's out
If you live in a small town
You might meet a dozen or two
Young alien types who step out
And dare to declare
We're through being cool
We're through being cool
Spank the pank who try to drive you nuts
Time to clean some house
Be a man or a mouse
Chase those who make it tuff to get around
If you live in a big place
Many factions underground
Chase down mister hinky dink
So no trace can be found
If you live in a big place
Many factions underground
Chase down mister hinky dink
So no trace can be found
We're through being cool
We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
Put the tape on erase
Rearrange your place
We always liked picasso anyway
If you live in a small town
You might meet a dozen or two
Young alien types who step out
And dare to declare
We're through being cool
We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
We're through being cool
We're through being cool
Spank the pank who try to drive you nuts
