You're So Cool

Yeah you're so cool.
Yeah you're so cool.
Yeah you're so cool.
Yeah you're so cool.

Alec, I'm sorry I ate your sandwich,
Waiting backstage at the Bowery Show.
I was not aware you need your alone time,
But you're a big star and you let me know.

It must be a drag to be on tour.
You sing out of key and still they beg you for more.
I know it must be just a dreadful chore
For such a tortured genius.

Whoa, Alec, you're so cool.
(You're so cool.)
You greet us all with a sneer and an attitude.
Alec, you're so cool.
And I hope that I could turn out like you.

Thank you for taking up all of the sound check.
We really didn't need one, it's okay.
We've been here since noon, your guitar's out of tune,
And I'm starting to think that you like it that way.

The lights go down on a sold out crowd;
A hundred bucks a ticket, still they scream and they howl.
You walk on stage and give a great big scowl
To all the little people.

Whoa, Alec, you're so cool.
(You're so cool.)
You greet us all with a sneer and an attitude.
Alec, you're so cool.
And I hope that I could turn out like you.

I wanna know, was it always this way?
Or was there a time when you could laugh at yourself.
Are you the same? Or did everything change
When your friends began to clap their hands and say
"Yeah! Oh, Yeah! (Oh Yeah!) Oh, Yeah!!"?

Alec, you're so cool.
(You're so cool.)
You greet us all with a sneer and an attitude.
Alec, you're so cool.
Was there advice that you took at The New School?

Alec, you're so cool.
(You're so cool.)
And I hope that I could turn out like you.

'Cuz you're so cool.
Yeah, you're so cool.
Yeah, you're so... ...cool.
