Not Cool Anymore - Kid Dingo - Official Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just walked off the job, I'm sorry bossman if I let you down
Someone needed it more, but they use "youse" as a collective noun
Youse look like youse could all use a smile, so who am I to frown?
Some days I feel like I'm about as shallow as a frying pan
I feel like I might drown (drown, drown)
[Chorus]
But it's just not cool anymore
It just isn't cool anymore
Hey where'd you get your feelings from? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The toilet store?
Don't tell me if you're going well (nooooo, yeah)
Life isn't show and tell
Where'd you get your anxieties from? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Two thousand and twelve? (two thousand and twelve, two thousand and twelve) (uhh)
[Verse 2]
I've been burning my cash, that's why I'm looking like a chimney sweep
Warning lights on my dash flash and flicker like a christmas tree
All my feelings are present and I wrap them individually
Hey boy, are you sure you're not enjoying this? Are you sure this isn't how you get down?
Do you make them put their hands in the air so they look like they might drown? (drown, drown)
[Chorus]
It's just not cool anymore
It just isn't cool anymore
Hey where'd you get your feelings from? (yeaahhh-uh)
The toilet store?
Don't tell me if you're going well
Life isn't show and tell
Where'd you get your anxieties from? (yeah yeah)
Two thousand and twelve? (ooh-ooh-ooooh)
[Rap]
Yeah, there's no bridge 'cause I burned it
Afforded the chords but never earned it
Spurned it. Attended the lesson and never learned it
A hermit. I feel about as turnt as turnip
That's totally a thing now, Kid Dingo termed it
Don't say the D-word because I never need'a
Depression is a dent on a pushed-in tweeter
Buzzing in the background like a mosquit-a
That could have malaria, which would be scarier
Thankfully they don't have that in my area
So I must concede that to be fair to ya
It would be obscene of me comparing the
bite what'll bother me to that that'll bury ya
I tend to bite and not bark like a terrier
so when I'm on the mic could you park that derriere
Down on a seat or a stool.
This is not a rap for you to act a fool to
'Cause I'm drowning in the shallow end of a very deep pool
All this splashing and I'm still not cool
[Chorus]
It's just not cool anymore
It just isn't cool anymore
Hey where'd you get your feelings from?
The toilet store? (the toilet store, the toilet store)
Don't tell me if you're going well (uhh)
Life isn't show and tell
Where'd you get your depression from? Where's it from?
Two thousand and twelve? (two thousand and twelve, two thousand and twelve)
