Lyrics
0:14You were tryin' to be cute
0:16And it didn't work out
0:20You were tryin' to be charmin'
0:22And it didn't come off
0:26You were tryin' to be clever
0:28A big waste of time
0:33You were tryin' to get rough
0:34But you're waitin' in line
0:39You can't make it with the down boys
0:42They don't hear a word you say
0:45You can't make it with the down boys
0:48Just stay out of their way
0:51You were tryin' to be sharp
0:53But they couldn't wait
0:57You were tryin' to be eternal
1:00But that didn't rate
1:04You were tryin' to be smooth
1:07You're rough on the edges
1:10You were tryin' to be hysterical
1:13And I still ain't laughin'
1:16You can't make it with the down boys
1:19They don't hear a word you say
1:22You can't make it with the down boys
1:25Just stay out of their way
2:04You were tryin' to be in
2:06But they left you out
2:10You were tryin' to be in
2:12Two different worlds
2:17You were tryin' to be in
2:18Oscillation in shame
2:23You were tryin' to be in
2:25But you're lost in the game
2:29You can't make it with the down boys
2:32They don't hear a word you say
2:35You can't make it with the down boys
2:38Just stay out of their way
2:42Stay out of their way
2:45Out of their way
2:48You can't make it with the down boys
2:51They don't hear a word you say
2:54You can't make it with the down boys
2:57Just stay out of their way
You were tryin' to be cute And it didn't work out You were tryin' to be charmin' 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 waitin' 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 Just stay out of their way You were tryin' to be sharp But they couldn't wait You were tryin' to be eternal But 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 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 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 Just stay out of their way Stay out of their way Out of their way 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 way
