Weird is the New Cool
INTRO:
This message will be heard, in over a hundred countries
It's been a long time comin'
The analysis, of Cool and weirdness
VERSE 1:
The architects of cool, thru the power of this quirky story
Baby you're no fool. Imperfect is a brand new glory
Jump on your design, so human and relatable
An instant genuine, we're more or less compatible
Lets hang out with that chill dude,
who doesn't give a shit about what other people think
Escape the unimportant feud. You will find the invisible link
Stay strong. Independent. And show off all your funky flaws
Be more transcendent, and break all those moral laws
CHORUS:
Cuz weird, is the new cool
It is, the ultimate tool
Sing like, you give a damn
That's right, this is the Jam!
BRIDGE 1:
A Yamaha CS-80 in your basement
A playlist on your Mac of the unreleased Camille-album
A mint condition movieposter of Captian Eo
A Bootsy starbass on the wall in your music studio (Unplayed!)
CHORUS:
Cuz weird, is the new cool
It is, the ultimate tool
Sing like, you give a damn
That's right, this is the Jam!
Yes weird, is the new cool
This is the ultimate tool
Sing like, you give a damn
That's right, this is the Jam!
VERSE 2:
The coolest brands in the world, is really the ones that are doin' good
So what if it's a boy or a girl, that's on the net or from the hood
Just think outside that box, You're not a dog, get outta that cage
Go be unorthodox, get it on when you're on that funky stage
Coolness just got married, to a kind of freaky weirdness
Results indeed varied, but it's all about the clearness
Be a force of positivity, uplift them like ELF! ELF!
But more importantly - Hey Man Just be yourself!
It doesn't matter who you are (Woof Woof!) or what you are.
Everyboy's cool in their own way.
You can take that to the bank
Cool?
BRIDGE 2:
A copy of Watchmen signed by Mr. Alan Moore (That is a marvelous thing)
A Technics SL-1200, for you to explore
A discojellyfish in a round aquarium
A purple lightsaber, pointing at the planetarium
Real, Funky!
CHORUS:
Cuz weird, is the new cool
It is, the ultimate tool
Sing like, you give a damn
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be great
That's gonna be great
It's gonna be great
That's gonna be great
Cuz weird, is the new cool
It is, the ultimate tool
Sing like - you give a damn (Hot Damn!)
That's right, this is the Jam!
Yes weird, is the new cool
It is, the ultimate tool
Sing like - you give a damn (Hot Damn!)
That's right, this is the Jam!
OUTRO:
Listen up
It's cool to be weird, as long as you're not - too weird.
Cool?
