Biografia:
Thick Red Wine is the DIY punk folk project of 24 year old New Jersey singer-songwriter Mike Wojciechowski. The project is an ongoing journal of growing up in America.
Influenced heavily by the Mountain Goats, Jeffrey Lewis, Paul Baribeau, Clem Snide, and Jason Anderson, Thick Red Wine aligns with a lot of literary traditions as a songwriter. There's no line of distinction drawn in the sand as some unreachable, divinely inspired musician. Instead, the song catalog is conversational, vulnerable, and story-based.

Never Wanted to Be Cool (Thick Red Wine)
http://drink.thickredwine.com
VERSE:
G D Em C
I hit my peak of popularity back when I was in grade school
G D Em C
Everyone wanted to be my friend; I thought that I was so cool
Some girls in my class were always trying to spell out my last name
W-o-j-C-i-E-C-H-o-w-s-k I would hear them say
Now I was just being myself, I had my jock jams on repeat
I loved Goosebumps, origami, basketball and R&B
But now pro-wrestling is what I loved most, so did my best friend
Cooler kids than us had yo-yos and they traded Pokémen
And back in kindergarten Bobby was just a kid who ate glue
But by the 5th grade well he was that kid who everybody knew
And during recess one day he came up to me and my best friend
He said why would someone like you hang out with losers just like him?
CHORUS:
D D C G
Well I bet Bobby never makes it out of jersey
D D C G
If there's a god, let her show him some mercy
Em
Because I had not known
D
People could be so cruel
C D G
But I knew I never wanted to be cool
So then bobby acted like me and him were made of the same stuff
Trying to be some macho 5th grade ass like he was tough and dangerous
When I told him to just go away, I had not realized
My best friend's face had turned a wounded red, tears dripping from his eyes
So I chased Bobby's skinny little sad and slow misshapen body
Around the recess yard like dogs chase prey; well that's how I chased Bobby
Tried to slither underneath a gap in our chain link fence
But I was fast enough to grab him by the ends of his pant legs
I pulled him back out to the playground where I lifted him right up
I power bombed him right down on the grass, his body made a thud
And so they sent me to the principal, office 223
I said I’m sorry Mr. Kelly, I don't know what came over me
He said you're lucky; I’m just givin' you a warning
Think on your wrongs kid, come and see me in the morning
And I will always recall
That afternoon at school
'Cos I learned I never wanted to be cool
And I know there will be Bobby’s in this world to make me mad
But you know I didn't really hurt him, in the end is it so bad
That for a moment I just wanted to be Stone Cold Steve Austin
Piledrive him down to the ground, then throw him in a coffin
Sometimes we change so damn fast, we forget moments that defined us
All the friends we can't remember, all our past selves hide behind us
Till one day you stop to think about your life and start to wonder
When this bitter world first stung you kind of like a Stone Cold Stunner
And now I have gotten older, it has been over ten years
I am not a violent person and I don't have too many fears
But there is still not one thing I would not do for my best friends
All the Bobby’s in this world will never sever me from them
FINAL CHORUS:
D D C G
'Cos I keep them close, like we're all a family
D D C G
And this song might not win me any Grammys
Em
But I still sing it proud
D
As an exception to the rule
C D
I’m glad I never wanted
C D
I never wanted
C D G
I never wanted to be cool
