Down Boys

you were trying to be cute
and it didn't work out
you were trying to be charming
and it didn't come off
you were trying to be clever
a big waste of time
you were trying to get rough
but you're waiting in line

[Chorus:]
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 trying to be sharp
but they couldn't wait
you were trying to be eternal
but that didn't rate
you were trying to be smooth
you're rough on the edges
you were trying to be hysterical
well i still ain't laughing

[Chorus]

you were trying to be in
but they left you out
you were trying to be in
two different worlds
you were trying to be in
oscillation in shame
you were trying to be in
but you're lost in the game

[Chorus]

Chicos De Abajo

estabas tratando de ser lindo
y no funcionó
estabas tratando de ser encantador
y no salió
que estaba tratando de ser inteligente
una gran pérdida de tiempo
que estaba tratando de ponerse duro
pero estás esperando en la cola

[Estribillo:]
no se puede hacer con los chicos abajo
no se oye una palabra que decir
no se puede hacer con los chicos abajo
sólo permanecer fuera de su camino

que estaba tratando de ser fuerte
pero no podían esperar
que estaba tratando de ser eterno
pero que no tarifa
que estaba tratando de ser suave
usted es áspero en los bordes
que estaba tratando de ser histérico
Bueno, yo todavía no se está riendo

[Estribillo]

que estaba tratando de estar en
pero lo dejó fuera
que estaba tratando de estar en
dos mundos diferentes
que estaba tratando de estar en
oscilación en la vergüenza
estabas tratando de estar en
pero te pierdes en el juego

[Estribillo]
