Hipster Girl

Lyrics by MC Lars Music by MC Lars, Mike Kennedy and Steve Connolly Hipster girl: So check this. I just read the Pitchfork review of the new Pavement reissue Stephen Malkumus is a genius, but let’s face it, he’s no Conor Oberst. I’m just saying It’s not 1994 anymore, duh. Did I show you my new mini skirt/leggings combo? You know what they say: ugly IS the new hot I met her in the thrift shop bumping indie hip-hop Calculator wrist watch, Shins t-shirt and flip-flops Queen of the hipster scene, straight out of Vice Magazine Social outcast at 16 but now she lives her BoHo Dream She came from Omaha to Williamsburg She loved Karen O and she had heard That Brooklyn was the hipster mecca Packed her bags with her friend Rebecca Said she had a thing for broke dudes in bands Who lived by Union or by Grand So we went down to the Bedford Bar And bought a six dollar PBR Hipster girl: Ezra. Go down Bedford, take a right on Metropolitan, then a right on Union, and then you’re here. Just text me when you get here okay? CHORUS: Hipster girl Cool by the numbers and she rocks my world Knows all the indie bands you’ve never heard She’s my hipster girl She thinks uncool stuff is mad cool, indie culture’s fad rule But cool stuff is uncool, right? That’s why Friday’s Jewel night She reads books no one has read, laughs at jokes no one has said So ironic with her taste, her whole life is cut and paste It’s a metrosexual romance, she wears my shirts and I wear her pants We play dodge ball, kid sports are cool Watching Spank Rock and McCarren Park Pool She’s my trust fund baby bohemian, her vegan hummus keeps her thin I love my L-Train girl it’s true, she always goes down on the weekends too Hipster girl: By the way, that pro-Bush shirt you’re wearing is making me really uncomfortable, you may be wearing it ironically, but that doesn’t give you the license to be obnoxious, you look like a hardcore fascist redneck! CHORUS: Hipster girl Cool by the numbers and she rocks my world Knows all the indie bands you’ve never heard She’s my hipster girl BRIDGE: Donnie Darko makes no sense! Hipster girl: When did side-pony tails get cool again? Your fixed-gear bike makes no sense! Hipster girl: I’ve been trying to do that dirty-chic thing, you know? Donnie Darko makes no sense! Hipster girl: I am so BoHo right now L train girls don’t make sense (I don’t get it, I don’t get it) Hipster girl Cool by the numbers and she rocks my world Knows all the indie bands you’ve never heard She’s my hipster girl Hipster girl She’s got her latte and some spoken word Ironic statements on her vintage shirts She’s my hipster girl Hipster girl: I’ll give it to you, Napoleon Dynamite was funny, but “Vote for Pedro” t-shirts at Wal-Mart? What are they thinking. Wal-Mart is evil. Their health care is totally inadequate Didn’t you see the screening of that Robert Greenwald movie at Pete’s Candy Store? It was so sad What is with all of these hipsters taking over Williamsburg?
