Hipster's Paradox
I take a look at my life and my hands, they start to quake
Because I've been shunning the mainstream so long,
That even the iTunes freaks like my vinyl songs!
But all the coolest indie band the pops don’t deserve ‘em
Me, my favorite kind of music no one has heard of
I never liked Justin Bieber, better believe it
No Toast Asylum, they write all their songs
I’ll really take some Pabst over Diet Coke
Nix the Coke, Pepsi Myself? Drinking Crystal Yolk, fool!
I like magazines like one called Clash, that’s selling Mad-like
I’m like “Please, make it stop! Everything’s in the spotlight!”
You see, our pass is fox can’t you see the hipster’s paradox?
Black hats and pointy socks are too mainstream hipster’s paradox
Black frames and coffee shops I just said it hipster’s paradox
French films and old-school clocks do you get it hipster’s paradox
Look at the situation they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was born a Boheme
Now, we gotta be down with the mainstream?!
If I ever needed funding, no Kickstarter please
I loved Pushing Daisies, fool, but really hated Lost
Chiller airs it at night, but it’s no total loss
I'm a scarf’d out hipster with flannel sweater
And my hat is made by Jacques there ain’t nothing better, fool
Ain’t read Twilight, it ain't my kinda book,
I'm reading Gneiss , Johan Zeiss, what can I say?
I'm 33 now, but could I stand to see 34
My way going mainstream I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the trends we flaunt are too mainstream?
Our anti-mainstream lives are too mainstream hipster’s paradox
French scarves and flannel socks in the mainstream hipster’s paradox
Bashed mainstream around the clock now we’re mainstream hipster’s paradox
Bill Shakespeare’s come to light He’s too mainstream hipster’s paradox
Paradox is forming but I’m not conforming sellout after sellout life is getting boring!
Everybody's hipping, but half of them ain't knowing
It seems like only the Batman is three films they know from Nolan
I say they gotta learn, which conflicts with anti-mainstream
If they can't understand me, don’t cease to please me stay underground, well, what the Thatch?
I guess, so what?! My vinyl discs, they've never had a scratch, fool!
You see, we’ve lost our lives to the mainstream hipster’s paradox
It‘s just the way I jive living in the hipster's paradox
All things are mainstream prone when you’re in a hipster Twilight Zone
This song is too well known, here’s a song by Oscar J. Malone
Tell me why are we so damn mainstream heard my favorite band on MTV
Tell me why are we so blind to see that the trends we flaunt are too mainstream
