Cool to Be a Fool

Here I sit, a nobody with no one

Being me ain't really all that fun

Leaving her wasn't very smart

Admitting I was wrong wouldn't be so hard

If it was cool to be a fool

I'd be the hippest guy around

If heartaches made you famous

I'd be known from town to town

If tears were mad of pennies

And a cold beer brought her back

Then my bank account and self esteem

Would both be in the black

If some Hollywood producer

Made a movie that was sad

About some guy who lost

The best thing he ever had

Hey, I could be a star

If it was cool to be a fool

But we all know, the way it really is

You don't get recognized for doing things like this

You spend a lot of time feeling sorry for yourself

It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else

If it was cool to be a fool

I'd be the hippest guy around

If heartaches made you famous

I'd be known from town to town

If tears were mad of pennies

And a cold beer brought her back

Then my bank account and self esteem

Would both be in the black

If some Hollywood producer

Made a movie that was sad

About some guy who lost

The best thing he ever had

Hey, I could be a star

If it was cool to be a fool

If it was cool to be a fool

I'd be the hippest guy around

If heartaches made you famous

I'd be known from town to town

If tears were mad of pennies

And a cold beer brought her back

Then my bank account and self esteem

Would both be in the black

And if some Hollywood producer

Made a movie that was sad

About some guy who lost

The best thing he ever had

Hey, I could be a star

If it was cool to be a fool

Hey, I could be a star

If it was cool to be a fool
