lyrics

There are so many people
Lost in the world
Trying hard to do
What someone told them to do
When they find out they've got nothing to lose
They'll come unglued
Like me and you

Mmm, so artsy baby
All in leather and dancing mean
Not going to cause no trouble
Just want to be a hipster in your scene

Saw you with a typewriter in the park
You were clicking out fan fiction after dark
While rocking a tank top and a scarf
In early March
Sipping a chagga tea with whipped cream

I want to
Buy all your paintings
Of Star Wars characters
And
Kittens in dumpsters
Cubist fruit
And the like

For you I'd quit my law firm
Sell my mansion
Trade my Porsche for a Vespa
Give up meat and be a vegan again

Probably not

Still there are so many people
Out in the world
Paying their dues
Cause they don't have a clue
When they find out they had
Choices to choose
They'll conclude they've been used

Then they stand bewildered
Waiting for more orders to fill
But they don't see
Their chains have all been cast off
Then you tell them to underground
They don't understand
What you're on about
For them to loosen up
It's Birkenstocks with black socks

Come on

Walking into the Goodwill store
And you're there
Talking to your friends
Without a care
I photobombed your Polaroid selfie
Cause damn the way it seems
Want us to be the picture in the meme
