Cool Kids

(album: Awake - 2018)

I got a checkered past
To match my checkered Vans
I used to give a shit
Now I don't give a damn
Love it, judge it, hate it, knock it, hey I understand
If you don't understand
You don't get it
You don't have to
Cause honestly I didn't really ask you
And I don't try to check the boxes that I don't fit into

Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids
Pour out the kool-aid
And just be human
Fly your middle finger to the way you should be blueprint
We can wear our scars
Like diamonds in the dark
Cause they make us who we are
Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids

I got a tattoo on my arm that my mama hates
And I still wear my Billie Jo shirt from my Green Day phase
Love it, judge it, hate it, knock it, if it ain't your thing
It ain't no thing
You don't get it
You don't have to
Cause honestly I didn't really ask you
And I don't try to check the boxes that I don't fit into

Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids
Pour out the kool-aid
And just be human
Fly your middle finger to the way you should be blueprint
We can wear our scars
Like diamonds in the dark
Cause they make us who we are
Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids

I don't wanna be another wannabe
I'm gonna be a holographic new classic anomaly, anomaly
I don't wanna be another wannabe, wannabe

Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids
Pour out the kool-aid
And just be human
Fly your middle finger to the way you should be blueprint
We can wear our scars
Like diamonds in the dark
Cause they make us who we are
Ain't it cool, kids
To not be cool kids
