Lyrics
I feel like I should like your new band
But I don't always hear what the cool kids do
I'm on the outside looking in
I'm a step behind again
I want your practiced apathy
All that honesty without sincerity
If I could love but only ironically
If I could know something you can't get from me
I feel like I should want these things
I want to want to be like that
And you can take cheap shots at me
And I can take your automatic cool
I wish that I could say the right things
I wish that I could hold my tongue
I wish I had no time for you
I wish my work were never done
I wish that people talked about me
I wish that I was in that movie
I can't even get a pass
Just a faceless unwashed mass
I feel like I should want these things
I want to want to be like that
I want to dress up differently
I want your shoes, I want your hat
I want to be the one you want
To take down just a peg or two
And you can take cheap shots at me
And I can take your automatic cool
I want to earn disinterest
Like I've seen it all before
I want the invitation
So you can see how much I'm bored
We can't get alone in the same room
I don't go to the parties that you do
With my face pressed against the glass
With my eyes on your skinny ass
I feel like I should want these things
I want to want to be like that
I want to dress up differently
I want your shoes, I want your hat
I want to be the one you want
To take down just a peg or two
And you can take cheap shots at me
And I can take your automatic cool
