And I still ain't laughin'
They don't hear a word you say
You were tryin' to be hysterical
You can't make it with the down boys

But you're waitin' in line
You were tryin' to be clever
But you're lost in the game
Just stay out of their way
You were tryin' to be sharp
You were tryin' to be charmin'
You were tryin' to be in
And it didn't come off

A big waste of time
But they couldn't wait
Just stay out of their way
You can't make it with the down boys
You're rough on the edges

Stay out of their way
You were tryin' to be in

Oscillation in shame
Out of their way
They don't hear a word you say
You can't make it with the down boys

You were tryin' to get rough
You can't make it with the down boys
You were tryin' to be in
They don't hear a word you say
You were tryin' to be in

Just stay out of their way
You can't make it with the down boys
But they left you out
You can't make it with the down boys

But that didn't rate

You can't make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their way

You were tryin' to be smooth
You can't make it with the down boys
You were tryin' to be eternal
They don't hear a word you say
Two different worlds
