cool I could never be as a rule

my nerves would never stand

 

a moment of complacency 

in the face of a world trying to get me 

 

a fool I’d rather be thought of 

as someone who couldn’t be a part of 

 

a predominant thinking 

an enterprise sinking 

 

we’ll have each other 

against the world 

 

in the race against 

diminishing returns

 

we place third 

I’m right behind you

 

because I love you

that’s hot (not cool)
