lyrics

You're too cool to dance
you're too hip to dance
you're too rock to dance
you're too smart to dance
you're too old to dance
you're too punk to dance
you're too fat to dance
you're too late to dance

You're too cool to prance
at the indie rock events
in your Electric Wizard t-shirt
and your stupid hipster pants

This ain't Dub Night at the Bottle
This ain't Windy City Soul
This is an independent rock show
so I guess we're all too cool.

We gently bang our heads
in our indie metal trance
it's Winter in Chicago
and we're all too cold to dance

The boy next door is into better things
as far as I can see
the boy next door is into bigger things
the boy next door is me alright*

You're too cool to dance
you're too hip to dance
you're too rock to dance
you're too …smart to dance
you're too old to dance
you're too punk to dance
you're too fat to dance
you're too shy to dance
hush hush eye to eye*
would it kill you to try?

Drummer watch that clock
don't spill your dollar Huber Bock
you know it's not unheard of
to dance to indie rock
