A break from politics with a song I composed.

I am a huge fan of T REX, so I decided to write a song in that style. If you like it, please rec it.

Thanks for listening.

THE LYRICS:

do you remember you were really wild?
cruising with your friends down the miracle mile
ain't it great to be young and alive
zero to hero in 3.5
corporation priestess on my TV screen
she pedals gold leaf to social extremes
don't touch that dial the American idol
shot through the heart of what's really vital
(chorus)
The Cool Kids do it
All the Cool Kids are doing it
All the Cool Kids do it
so why don't you?
(V2)
don't you wish it was just like the tales?
left abandoned in designer labels
Ain't it great to be young and alive?
hero to zero in 2.5
corporation priestess on my TV screen
she pedals gold cards and Hollywood dreams
and while they're selling you the final solution..the cheap absolution....the SOFT REVOLUTION
(chorus)
The Cool Kids do it
All the Cool Kids are doing it
All the Cool Kids do it
so why don't you? (not with you)
(bridge)
we are the Cool Kids walking down the street
dancing to our own drum marching to our own beat
we are the Cool Kids walking down the street
dancing to our own drum marching to our own beat
(chorus)
The Cool Kids do it
All the Cool Kids are doing it
All the Cool Kids do it
so why don't you?

(refrain)
we are the Cool Kids walking down the street
dancing to our own drum, marching to our beat
