Lyrics:

you were tryin' to be cute and it didn't work out you were tryin' to be charming and it didn't come off you were tryin' to be clever a big waste of time you were tryin' to get rough but you're waiting in line you can't make it with the down boys they don't hear a word you say you can't make it with the down boys uh just stay out of their way you were trying to be sharp but they couldn't wait you were trying to be eternal but uh that didn't rate you were tryin' to be smooth you're rough on the edges you were tryin' to be, hysterical and I still ain't laughin' you can't make it with the down boys uh they don't hear a word you say you can't make it with the down boys just stay out of their way you were tryin' to be in but they left you out [yelp?] you were tryin' to be in two different worlds you were tryin' to be in oscillation in shame you were tryin' to be in but you're lost in the game you can't make it with the down boys they don't hear a word you say you can't make it with the down boys uh just stay out of their way stay out of their way out of their way you can't make it with the down boys uh they don't hear a word you say you can't make it with the down boys just stay out of their way
