The final studio version of the song was recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA. The sessions lasted from July 22 to October 22, 2004. It was one of 12 songs that Cuomo asked to band to only concentrate on, which he felt were the right songs for the album. According to the [[Recording History]] the song had turned into a "disco jam" at this point, complete with keyboard effects, walking bass lines etc. Until early [[2005]], the song was designated to be the seventh track. Ultimately the song was excluded from the final track list for unknown reasons and remains unreleased to this day.<br> | The final studio version of the song was recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA.

<poem> | |||
I never seen such a group of total fools | |||
I can't believe that you would think they're even slightly cool | |||
See, baby you and them are on completely different levels | |||
You are such an angel, and they are such devils | |||
They only want the pleasure from living in the moment | |||
They have not thought at all about the places they are going | |||
I'm telling you that they will not amount to anything | |||
And you will wish that you had never... | |||
They are stupid | |||
And you deserve so much better | |||
Don't give in to them | |||
I thought that you were the coolest from the start | |||
The things you said and how you said 'em really moved my heart | |||
You and I both listen to all the same bands | |||
We read the same books, and we held eachothers' hands | |||
But I can see you getting giddy when they come around | |||
And seeing you excited makes me wanna put 'em down | |||
'Cause you don't know what you are doing when you leave my side | |||
But if you go for good, then I'll know at least I tried | |||
They are stupid | |||
And you deserve so much better | |||
Don't give in to them | |||
Don't go to the dark side | |||
You will forget | |||
All about me | |||
When will I find | |||
Somebody right | |||
I guess if I think about it from your point of view | |||
I can see why they are so attractive to you | |||
But some day you may want something more from your life | |||
And then you will look back and say | |||
"Yeah he was right" | |||
They are stupid | |||
And you deserve so much better | |||
Don't give in to them | |||
They are stupid | |||
And you deserve so much better | |||
Don't give in to them | |||
They are stupid | |||
And you deserve so much better | |||
Don't give in to them | |||
