New Left Standard Tape Info
o.k. heres all the dirt on our tape,
Its called "Cool Like Chris" theres actually no reason for
the title, It doesn't really mean anything. It was recorded by
John Emerson sometime in July and has 5 songs(although we
actually recorded 6 songs with him). There are at least 250 of these tapes in circulation and 50 more were released on Funded by Mom records which had 4 live tracks also. We've stopped selling these
tapes, so just get copies from your friends. for you who already have the tape here are
all the lyrics from the tape, so you can sing along at home!!!
why do u even bother arguing with me when you no im right and
your plain wrong you always try to win but you know youre gonnna
lose so why even bother when you drag it along I thought that i
would love you til the very day you die and if you didnt love me
back then i would have to go and cry cause you always made me happy
and you always made me grin and you make me melt like marshmellows
in hot chocolate
well here i am and your so far away and all i think about is
when we used to play just when i think i got it all worked out
ahead of me your the only one that i can never see
Youre a whiny little baby and you make me really pissed cause
I wasted months on you and we never even kissed you acted like my
girlfriend but we didnt even date so i guess that youre the one im
gonna love to hate I thought that i would love you till the very
day you die and if you didnt love me back then i would have to go
and cry cause you always made me happy and you always made me grin
and you made me melt like marshmellows in hot chocolate
I guess i shouldntve said to go away when the truth was that
I wanted you to stay just when i think i got it all laid out and
going fine you are the only one that i can never find
I guess i made a big mistake but at least i know that youre a
fake
i learned a lot today i found that im the same no matter what i do
no matter what i say i tried so hard to be like someone else but i
keep on messin up yeah
woke up today threw on my same old pair of pants then i
decided to be different so i thought id take a chance so i hopped
into my car and sped off to the mall to see if i could by the
latest fashion trends to improve my personality a chain hooked on
my wallet and some really baggy jeans shoved an earring in my
tongue just to impress my fellow teens i thought wow i am so cool
now i can be friends with all the kids at school
**and it seems so hard to find myself**
read a magizine so i could find the hippest brands then i bought
1000 records so i could say i heard the bands wear sunglasses on my
head and i got a slick hairdoo and i spent my last three paychecks
on these neat new pair of shoes now im stylin head to toe but i
still feel the same just cause i have a trendy look deep in my
heart nothing has changed ill just have to be myself cause its just
to tough to act like everybody else
i see you coming here coming out from nowhere
i see you takemy bike you cant get away with that
he was a punk rock dude
with a green mohawk and a bad attitude 1234
**someone stole my bike and i want it back**
shut up and sit down does it make you feel big cause you know i
wont get up and fight with you its true that youre bigger than me
my bodies like a pencil and youres is like a tree but that hasnt
stopped me yet and its not starting now get ready for a shock cause
im gonna show you how to fight and stand up for your rights and ill
keep fightin till the day fades into night
so youre runnin round and pushin people down i guess youll do
what it takes to make yourself happy its a sin if you play and you
dont win so you cut the others down just so you dont feel crappy
well that was fine but not this time im not gonna let it go
We dont wanna go
i go to the same shows you do but i dont hang around with your
crew cause i dont skate or rollerblade
you wear clothes like blind and hookups if we wear those clothes
you erupt you call us names man thats so lame
**were not skaters or alternaters were not even rollerbladers but
when it comes down to it we dont ^really care one bit**
people will make fun of us thats for sure cause there vision is
such a blur to many fogged up minds so dont act tough when your
riding that skateboard or call me a poser when im wearin my cords
dont look now cause your wearin them too.
