Well, I don't care if you got yourself 'bout a hundred tattoos And you gone and put a steel rod thru your ring ding doo You can smoke nothing but Cuban cigars And collect rare hollow-body electrical guitars
But you can't buy cool No, you can't buy cool You're nothing but a rich boy Nothing but a fool You can't buy cool, oh, no, no, no
Bet you got yourself a very complicated order at Starbucks And you used to dig the cocktail scene, but now you think it sucks You're nothing but a dedicated follower of fashion You love being told where you can purchase your next passion
But you can't buy cool No, you can't buy cool You're nothing but a rich boy Nothing but a fool You can't buy cool, oh, no, no, no
You can cover yourself with tattoos, each one cooler than the next Drink a microbrew with a boy named Sue and experiment with gay sex Buy a '53 Harley and Bob Marley box set Get all these things, still be lame, 'cause there's one thing you can't get
Well, you can't buy cool No, you can't buy cool Yeah, you can't buy cool No, you can't buy cool You're nothing but a rich boy Nothing but a fool You can't buy cool, oh, no, no, no
