Capo on 4th dude. I used to be a geek every day of the week And something stupid came out every time that I’d speak Every saturday night I’d have no immediate plans I’d hang out with mom and dad playing board games again I was bored like a fool I wish I was cool                    (Continue D Gpatern) Well I was useless in class so I tried out for sports Where the jocks got a kick out of yanking my shorts Stealing my towel when my shower was done I’d walk through the locker room I couldn’t find one I had to streak through the school   I wish I was cool Mama dear mom I think my shorts are coming down I held on tight to my books kept my mouth shut in class In my hand me down clothes even the teachers would laugh I’d pray to the clock I’d eat lunch alone And we haven’t even gotten to the bus ride home No teachers no rules I wish I was cool You see we lived in the house with too many kids Too many pets and not much food in the fridge The kids on the bus called it the house of the hicks ’cause there’s too many cars on the lawn to be fixed But my dad lost his tools I wish I was cool Mama dear mom your broken boy is coming home (Acoustic)                            G7 So what is the moral of the story you say (Acoustic)                             G6 The king of the jocks turned out to be gay And all the little cool kids stayed in their small town Where some used to be nerd can boss them around It’s our turn to be cruel It’s our turn to be cruel I wish I was cool Cool yeah yeah Cool yeah yeah

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un jeune homme qui se sent en décalage avec ses camarades de classe. Il se décrit comme un geek, souvent moqué, et partage ses souvenirs d’une vie scolaire difficile. Il évoque les moments de solitude, les humiliations sportives et le manque de confiance en lui, à la maison et à l'école. Malgré tout, il réalise avec ironie que des personnes qu’il considérait comme "cool" ont fini par mener des vies moins enviables. Cela soulève une réflexion sur la popularité et les jugements de valeur qui peuvent évoluer avec le temps. Le contexte se situe dans une enfance difficile, marquée par une famille nombreuse et des ressources limitées. Les références aux défis quotidiens et aux moqueries des pairs apportent une dimension universelle à son récit, faisant écho à des expériences que beaucoup peuvent reconnaître.
