Try as I Might

I will never be as hardcore as you want me to be
So now that we've covered that, can we please just have fun?
(La la la)

Do you use a click track when you record your guitar?
Can you drive a stick shift when you're in your car?
Do you know everything about wines that there is to know?
Oh really? That's too bad. That's too bad

When you have a dinner date, do you cook the food yourself?
Have you read every single book that's sitting on your shelf?
Have you transferred all your music onto tape cassette?
No! shut up! shut up! shut up! shut up!

I will never be as hardcore as you want me to be

Do you listen to this band of Brooklyn kids who nobody knows?
Even though they don't play live I've been to seven shows
Have you eaten at this place that only serves vegan fish?
Oh really? That's too bad. That's too bad

Do you make your music using only a telephone?
All the really hardcore kids build robots of their own
Do you think you're cool enough to play shows with us?
No! shut up! shut up! shut up! shut up!

I will never be as hardcore as you want me to be
