Cool Kids Always Late Lyrics by The Volunteers
You gotta make sure to be late
since you’re a rockstar lover
You gotta pretend like you’re a total alien
and a chain-smoker
Cigarettes, liquor, all the words from records
Yet you gotta stay clean and sober
Cause judging you makes them feel in control
Losers keep raving,
Keep judging by the cover
Cool kids always gotta be so late
What side do you think I belong to?
There or here? I belong to my man, or nowhere
Yeah, lately I am dating him, not him
You gotta learn to lose your name
Since you’re a rockstar lover
Everyone around you
smells like borrowed perfume
So don’t be a sucker
Yeah, truth never matters
These kids don’t know the difference
Same scars, same tricks
Just rebrand it all over again
No fingerprints on the vinyl, see?
It never really matters
Cool kids always gotta be so late
What side do you think I belong to?
There or here? I belong to my man, or nowhere
Yeah, lately I am dating him, not him
Cool kids always finding their own ways
What do you think about me? I’m on my way
Right or left? I’m looking at my man, my man
But lately, yeah, I’m fucking someone else
