"You're So Cool" lyrics

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

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