| She sees them walking in a straight line
 | 
| That’s not really her style
 | 
| And they all got the same heartbeat
 | 
| But hers is falling behind
 | 
| Nothing in this world could
 | 
| Ever bring them down
 | 
| Yeah, they’re invincible
 | 
| And she’s just in the background
 | 
| And she says
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
 | 
| (I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids)
 | 
| He sees them talking with a big smile
 | 
| But they haven’t got a clue
 | 
| Yeah, they’re living the good life
 | 
| Can’t see what he is going through
 | 
| They’re driving fast cars
 | 
| But they don’t know where they’re going
 | 
| In the fast lane
 | 
| Living life without knowing
 | 
| And he says
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
 | 
| (I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids)
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
 | 
| (I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids)
 | 
| And they said
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
 | 
| (I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids)
 | 
| I wish that I could be like the cool kids
 | 
| Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
 | 
| (I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids)
 | 
| Like the cool kids |
