Down By Law

The Cool Crowd

Down By Law


This is a puzzle 
I don't seem to fit 
all the sounds they like just seem like shit 
I don't know if they're dumb or I'm getting old 
there's a fire inside of me 
and I wish that they could see 
there's more to this than what they seem to think 
you've got to feel it - you've got to grow wit hit 
don't forget the past but get out and explore 
it's not that I hate them but I don't fit in 
though there was a day when I tried to 
now I'm driving with my own song in my head 
cutting edge traditionalist 
the cool guy with the biting wit 
but the cool crowd seems way ahead of me 
or behind me 
no matter what people say there's always pressure 
but I can't be a slave to others ideas 
I'm going to do what I want to 
going to play what I want to 
so at the end of the day I can look back and laugh
