Tell me,
How is it cool, 
To act like a fool,
To smoke, and curse,
To drink, and have sex,
With someone you never met
And someone you will forget,
Please tell me how it's cool,
Because in this case
I'm proud to be a misfit?

I'm sick of everyone looking at me like I'm a strange species every time I tell them I don't do things that are "cool" so I just really want to know whats really cool about messing up your life with drugs and having a bunch of different partners.
