lyrics

---------------
I’ve watched you from a distant wall
I’ve talked to you. You’re such a doll.
Then I stepped back and watched you work
Now I have proof: you are a jerk.

(chorus:)
Too cruel to be cool.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Too cruel to be cool.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh-oh-oh.
Too cruel to be cool.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Too cruel to be cool.

It’s not just fun. This is no game.
You viciously attack the sane.
Driven by an inner force.
Hurt, not play, is your purpose.

(chorus)

You’ve tossed yourself out. No one’s reeling you in.
You’re lost in the crowd. How well you blend in.
