Like you've got nothing to prove
No matter what you might do
There's always someone out there cooler than you
I know that's hard to believe But there are people you meet
They're into something that is too big to be
Expressed
Through their clothes
And they'll put up with all the poses you throw
And you won't
Even know
That they're not sizing you up
They know your mom f***** you up
Or maybe let you watch too much TV
But they'll still look in your eyes
To find the human inside
You know there's always something in there to see
Beneath The veneer
Not everybody made the list this year
Have a beer
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the s***
But you won't be it for long
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Now that I've got the disease In a way I'm relieved
Cause' I don't have to stress about it like you do
I might just get up and dance
Or buy some acid washed pants
If you don't care
Then you got nothing to lose
And I won't Hesitate
Cause every moment life is slipping away
It's ok
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
But there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the s***
But you won't be it for long
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Oh, there's always someone cooler than
Life is wonderful
Life is beautiful
We're all children of
One big universe
So you don't have to be
A chump
And you know
(You know)
That I won't
(I won't)
Hesitate
(Hesitate)
Cause every moment life is slipping away
(Away)
It's ok
(It's ok)
Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall
'Cause there's always someone cooler than you
Yeah, you're the s***
But you won't be it for long
But there's always someone cooler than you
Oh yeah, there's always someone cooler than you
Because there's always someone cooler than you
Cooler than you
Boy
Cooler than you
Girl
Cooler than you
Sir
Cooler than you
My Lady
OH!
Nerds gone wild
Yeah yea
There's Always Someone Cooler Than You, by Ben Folds is one of my favorite songs for many reasons, but mainly because of the message that it sends out to its listeners. To me, it is saying that it is okay to be who you really are, because there is always someone cooler than the person who is judging you, and that judging people really isn't okay. My favorite line in this song is 'If you don't care then you've got nothing to lose'. I feel like Ben Folds may be speaking from experience with this song, because he isn't exactly the coolest person ever, but he endears himself to people through his lyrics.
