Lyric Down Boys

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
