about

A motivational track about how growing up trying to be the cool kid is never the way to be. An anthem for anyone who's ever had insecurities about themselves as a child, and how everything's gonna be just fine. A pretty feel-good track to finish off the album, if I do say so myself.

lyrics

-v1-
How's it feel to know you'll never be cool?
Well guess what kid, you're just playing the fool and
You've got this burning hatred deep inside
Doesn't matter what you do, it won't matter how hard you tried
Different stories every time
They're shelling out excuses like nickels and dimes
They're really not the friends you need
It's popular politics, the worst of the teenage seed!

-chorus-
Stand up, it's a matter of will!
Rise up, then go in for the kill!

You know sometimes I find it hard to believe
That I came from the very same teenage seed and
Those sticks and stones always break your bones
But those words could never tread on the feelings you show cuz
You grew up, became a happy kid
And they never measured up to the things you did and
If it hurts, rub it in some dirt
Everyone will know you as the kid with the blood on his shirt!

-v2-
They write your name in a little black book
You try and let things go, but still you wanna take a look
The years will seem to pass you by
Before you know it you'll be kissing them losers goodbye
It's harder to be satisfied
You'll keep getting tougher as the seconds keep passing you by
You're stuck in a cerebral well
Just keep on climbing till you realize the moment you fell
