Too Cool For School Lyrics
He walks alone under the big city lights
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking, he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school
He comes alive when the sun goes down
He gets it right, you know he's always down
He's got one eye open and his ear to the ground
And he's too cool for school
He's an operator, he's a real player
And if you mess with him you know you'll never win
He's an instigator, enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He's got his own way of getting things done
He's always looking out for number one
Don't try to beat him cause he's already won
And he's too cool for school
He's an operator, he's a real player
And if you mess with him you know you'll never win
He's an instigator, enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He walks alone under the big city lights
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking, he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school
Because he's too cool for school
Because he's too cool for school
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking, he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school
He comes alive when the sun goes down
He gets it right, you know he's always down
He's got one eye open and his ear to the ground
And he's too cool for school
And if you mess with him you know you'll never win
He's an instigator, enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He's always looking out for number one
Don't try to beat him cause he's already won
And he's too cool for school
And if you mess with him you know you'll never win
He's an instigator, enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking, he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school
Because he's too cool for school
Because he's too cool for school

from the 'scary movie' soundtrack, this one of their newer songs. and with a new album on the way, i'm getting all excited! anyways, that's what i think...
This song makes me laugh cause the lyrics seem like it should be song by a woman
One of their more underrated songs, I feel. It has a very, very early 2000s sound to it (which makes sense, given when it was written).
Most FOW songs don't have the deepest, most intellectual lyrics, and this one is not really any different to that, which is fine. It's catchy, easy listening, and was the perfect choice for the ending to Scary Movie.
Also, RIP Adam Schlesinger. Hope you get to heaven soon.
