We're through being cool

We're through being cool

Eliminate the ninnies and the twits

Going to bang some heads

Going to beat some butts

Time to show those evil spuds what's what

If you live in a small town

You might meet a dozen or two

Young alien types who step out

And dare to declare

We're through being cool

We're through being cool

Spank the pank who tries to drive you nuts

Time to clean some house

Be a man or a mouse

Waste those who make it tough to get around

If you live in a big place

Many factions underground

Chase down Mister Hinky Dink

So no trace can be found

If you live in a big place

Many factions underground

Chase down Mister Hinky Dink

So no trace can be found

We're through being cool

We're through being cool

Eliminate the ninnies and the twits

Put the tape on erase

Rearrange a face

We always liked Picasso anyway

If you live in a small town

You might meet a dozen or two

Young alien types who step out

And dare to declare

We're through being cool

We're through being cool

Eliminate the ninnies and the twits

We're through being cool

We're through being cool

Spank the pank who tries to drive you nuts

(Mash 'em)

We're through being cool

We're through being cool
