August Song of the Month: I'm Not Cool Anymore
/An old generation x-er in the park expresses relief and a little remorse about not being cool anymore.
Lyrics
On an old park bench
A man sat next to me
A cheerful smile on his face
He turned to me and hi
Deviant minors
Walked by in revolt
And suddenly he grew weary
He turned to me and said
Man, the 90's, they really were such a chore
But I’m not cool anymore
Remember when caring
Was simply frowned upon?
You showed a little compassion
And people just rolled their eyes?
Scanning the whole park
Of families and their dogs
Just people living their lives
He turned to me and said
I used to think they all were a bore
But I’m not cool anymore
He made a move like he
Was going to get up
But then he paused for a moment
And gave a long, heavy sigh
And then he grew silent
Collecting all his thoughts
He gravely lowered his eyes
Shook his head and said
I used to be the one who kept score
But I’m not cool anymore
