lyrics

You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all

Walkin in fashionably late
So wipe that look of disappointment off your face
You should treat my standing in your presence
As a Gift to Earth, and this place

I keep the shades on for flash photography
We wouldn't want any retinal scarring
But then again, I'm just in school
What does it matter if I only wanted to be cool? Oh

You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all

All we wanted to be was the cool kids
All you ever see is the cool kids
All we wanted to be was the cool kids,
Was the cool kids
Was the cool kids

It can be lonely, lonely
Lonely sitting down
In my crown
So bow down, bitches
You know it cost a lot of money to look this good
Stop laughin I'm serious!
The paparazzi should be here soon, so I

I put the shades on, for flash photography
We wouldn't want any retinal scarring
But then again, I'm just in school
What does it matter if I only wanted to be cool? Oh

You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all

All we wanted to be was the cool kids
All you ever see is the cool kids
(All you ever see) all you ever see
(All you ever see) all you ever see
All we wanted to be was the cool kids
All you ever see is the cool kids
All we wanted to be was the cool kids,
Was the cool kids
Was the cool kids

You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
You played the game and you lost it all, you lost it all
