Down Boys

You were tryin' to be cute
And it didn't work out
You were tryin' to be charmin'
And it didn't come offYou were tryin' to be clever
A big waste of time
You were tryin' to get rough
But you're waitin' in lineYou 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
Just stay out of their wayYou were tryin' to be sharp
But they couldn't wait
You were tryin' to be eternal
But that didn't rateYou 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
They don't hear a word you say
You can't make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their wayYou were tryin' to be in
But they left you out
You were tryin' to be in
Two different worldsYou were tryin' to be in
Oscillation in shame
You were tryin' to be in
But you're lost in the gameYou 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
Just stay out of their wayStay out of their way
Out of their wayYou 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
Just stay out of their way
