There's always someone cooler than you

Here are some lyrics from a Ben Folds song that I was listening to today. I like Ben because while he is goofy and crude at times, his songs have a certain honesty that connects with me.

I need to remind myself that no matter how much good I do, I am still a sinner who has recieved grace from a loving, merciful God.

Smile,
like you've got nothing to prove,
no matter what you might do,
there's always someone out there cooler than you.
I know that's hard to believe,
but there are people you meet,
there in is something that is too big to be
expressed
through their clothes.
And they'll put up with all the poses you throw,
and you won't
even know.

That their not sizing you up,
they know your mom f****d you up,
or maybe let you watch too much TV.
But they'll still look in your eyes,
to find the human inside,
you know there's always something in there to see,
beneath
the venier.
"Not everybody made the list this year,
have a beer."

Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall,
but there's always someone cooler than you.
Yeah you're the s**t but you won't be it for long,
oh there's always some cooler that you.

Now that I've got the disease,
in a way I'm relieved,
cause I don't have to stress about it like you do.
I might just get up and dance,
or buy some acid-wash pants.
When you don't care then you've got nothing to lose
and I won't
hesitate,
cause every moment life is slippin' away.
It's OK

Life is wonderful,
life is beautiful.
We're all children of,
one big universe.
So you don't have to be a chump.
