You say you've seen it all
nothing out there impresses
everthing you see you reject
It seems to me you're jaded
or possibly inundated
with the belief hipsters are correct
well that's not the case
There's a world laid out there for you
I can't believe how it could bore you
There's so much out there to see
Take a moment and look around you
Everything could possibly astound you
if only you let your mind go free
when the public responds with applause
you denounce it as trash because
you won't let them tell you how to think
don't you see that when they approve of it
and you always choose the opposite
you're letting them control you anyway?
stop being a puppet
doesn't matter what anybody says
you are free to make your own choices
no one can tell you you are wrong
no interest compared or measured
no such thing as a guilty pleasure
if you like it you like it that is all
'Hey, check out my walkman! It only plays cassette tapes. Isn't that cool?'
'Oh, didn't you hear? Ironic use of old technology is out. Everybody's doing it now.'
'Huh, I never thought I'd see the day.'
so throw out all of your hipster playthings
the t-shirts with ironic sayings
and Cuban leaders you've never known
don't fall into their mentality
and their skewed view of reality
you're in your 20s now prove you've grown
get out there and start doing something
forget about public recognition
you only need to please yourself
stop blogging about everything but you
don't you know you sound like a fool
when you copy and paste from somewhere else?
don't be a hipster
don't be a hipster
don't be a hipster
