Lyrics:

I go by a few names: Johnny Reubonic, Don Rubio. (What?)

Round on the ends and high in the middle
(Ohio!)
I'm leaving to maximize my potential
U-Haul rental packed full of the essentials
Confidence? Check! Yes, I'm feeling special
Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it started
Someday I'll be your favorite artist
Dumb enough to be that confident
Beat the odds with the backhanded compliment

Sing it like you mean it
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', the party ain't—

Twelve guys in a two-bedroom apartment
Living large shouldn't look this desperate
Walking on stars. Bums on a park bench
Here's a quarter to avoid an argument, oh
We felt like the very first ones
Trying to write the universe an anthem
Tomorrow we're old; tonight we're young
What could be more brilliant than to just play dumb?
(Hey!)

Sing it like you mean it
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', the party ain't—
Sing it like you mean it
(Johnny, you've got it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Johnny, you've lost it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Johnny Reubonic.)
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', until we've out— outgrown it
(Ohio!)
Outgrown it
(Ohio!)

Roaring 20s. Depressed at 30
Busybodies move with urgency
I put my ear to the street
Somebody catch me up to speed
I want to win, but I don't want to compete
Take the good with the bad
Chew the meat. Spit the fat
Owe some land. Pay the tax
Minivan with two-and-a-half
Raise your glass. Toast the past
It all happened a little too fast
Passionate about what you can't get back

Sing it like you mean it
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', the party ain't—
Sing it like you mean it
(Johnny, you've got it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Johnny, you've lost it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Johnny Reubonic.)
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', until we've outgrown it
Sing it like you mean it
(Johnny, you've got it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Make me believe it
(Johnny, you've lost it.)
(Come on, come on.)
Dream like you own it
(Johnny Reubonic.)
(Come on, come on.)
The party ain't stoppin', until we've out— outgrown it

I go by a few names: Johnny Reubonic, Don Rubio... Cool the Underdog
