There's Always Someone Cooler Than You

Smile!
Like you've got nothing to prove
No matter what you might do
There's always someone out there cooler than you

I know that's hard to believe
But there are people you meet
They're into something that is too big to be expressed through their clothes
And they'll put up with all the poses you throw
And you won't even know
That they're not sizing you up
They know your mom fucked you up
Or maybe let you watch too much TV
But they'll still look in your eyes
To find the human inside
You know there's always something in there to see
Beneath the veneer
Not everybody made the list this year
Have a beer

Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit, but you won't be it for long
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you

Now that I've got the disease, in a way I'm relieved
'cause I don't have to stress about it like you do
I might just get up and dance, or buy some acid-washed pants
When you don't care then you've got nothing to lose
And I won't hesitate 'cause every moment life is slipping away
It's OK

Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit, but you won't be it for long
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you

Life is wonderful
Life is beautiful
We're all children of one big universe
So you don't have to be a chump

And you know that I won't hesitate
'Cause every moment life is slipping away
It's OK

Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
Because there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the shit, but you won't be it for long
But there's always someone cooler than you
Oh yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Because there's always someone cooler than you
