I used to be a geek every day of the week

And something stupid came out every time that I'd speak

Every saturday night I'd have no immediate plans

I'd hang out with mom and dad playing board games again

I was bored like a fool

I wish I was cool


Well I was useless in class so I tried out for sports

Where the jocks got a kick out of yanking my shorts

Stealing my towel when my shower was done

I'd walk through the locker room I couldn't find one

I had to streak through the school

I wish I was cool

Mama dear mom I think my shorts are coming down


I held on tight to my books kept my mouth shut in class

In my hand me down clothes even the teachers would laugh

I'd pray to the clock I'd eat lunch alone

And we havent' even gotten to the bus ride home

No teachers no rules

I wish I was cool


You see we lived in the hose with too many kids

Too many pets and not much food in teh fridge

The kids on the bus called it the house of the hicks

'cause there's too many cars on the lawn to be fixed

But my dad lost his tools

I wish I was cool

Mama dear mom your broken boy is coming home


So what is the moral of the story you say

The king of the jocks turned out to be gay

And all the little cool kids stayed in their small town

Where some used to be nerd can boss them around

It's our turn to be cruel

It's our turn to be cruel

I wish I was cool

Cool yeah yeah

Cool yeah yeah
