Something and the Whatevers - You Used To Be Cool Lyrics

You used to be cool
You used to be cool
What the hell happened? what the hell happened? you used to be cool
You used to be fun
You used to please everyone
Well at least nearly everyone else
You never really got the hang of pleasing yourself
But at least you could always expect
To be treated with respect
Amongst the select upper tier of your peers your superior
Status was left unchecked
And at least you could always know
Your friends would follow wherever you'd go
'Cause you used to be cool, you used to be cool, you used to be cool

And you used to write songs about
Parties and drugs and the girls that you thought you loved
Now you only write songs about yourself in second person
But at least you're still singing something
Writing sad songs is better than nothing
At least that's what I keep saying to that loser in the mirror
And he says, "yeah? well, you used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!
"You used to be cool!"
(There's probably a couple more but I don't feel like counting them right now)
