I see you walking down the hall like
You think you're the very tops
You got that good at basketball life
And you act like the other jocks
And you're not really all you wanna be
Deep down you're a little scared
Maybe that's why you gotta pick on me
But you know I don't really care
Look into the crystal ball...
You may be on fire now
And I may be a goddamn fool
You may win today but when I think it through
Nobody knows it yet
But I am cooler than you
I am cooler than you
I am cooler than you
You are not really all that interesting
But you feel like you're in your prime
And even though the girls are listening
I see boredom in their eyes
And while you're smoking all your cigarettes
And you're driving in your mom's new car
I haven't really found my rhythm yet
But I'll keep playing my guitar
Look into the crystal ball...
You may be on fire now
And I may be a goddamn fool
You may win today but when I think it through
Nobody knows it yet
But I am cooler than you
I am cooler than you
I am cooler...
Oh, you're so cool and you're dating all the seniors
You break rules get away with misdemeanors
But it's gonna get awkward
Oh, you're so hip everyone will be astonished
Your grades slip and you don't get into college
So you take a job at Foot Locker
You may be on fire now
And I may be a goddamn fool
You may win today but when I think it through
Nobody knows it yet
But I am cooler than you
I am cooler than you
I am cooler than you
