Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire — Hipster Hoax lyrics

Lyrics

Life’s strange when your friends are names on a screen
And the bulk of them are strangers
You tap feet to a different beat, oh, no
As it is, we haven’t got any rhythm
Down with a second way of life
Make pretend it’s not by default
Self-exclusionary
Cool, and very very
Very flavor-of-the-week
This has all been a joke
This has all been some jacked-up hipster hoax
That I’m not cool enough to understand
This has all been a ruse
What’s that? I laugh, I lose?
So tell it to me until it’s funny, man
If this has all been a joke
Yeah
This has all been a joke
Yeah
You get dressed from a pile of clothes on the floor
Don’t pretend you’ll go out later
You get depressed by the opposite sex
Oh no, keep it up until they downplay the standard
Media tells us, «now's our day»
But we’re not the «us» they mean, so
Grow a handlebar mustache
And you can be the trailer park trash of a new regime
It’s a joke
I think it’s all been some jacked-up hipster hoax
That I’m not cool enough to understand
I think it’s all been a ruse
What’s that? I laugh, I lose?
So tell it to me until it’s funny, man
If this has all been a joke
And I won’t wear gla-gla-glasses anymore
Or talk about pirates, or ninjas, or cats
No, they never were cool
I wrote my last meme about
The zombie apocalypse
I hit on my last girl with something clever
Written in binary on her tits
Computers are commonplace, to the point
Where you feel no ownership
When that aesthetic is gone, as well
The dice on your shelf can be
Your twenty-side identity crisis
So get lost in this sea of archetypes
All as cutting-edge as you
Make the most of it, and
Make a post of it, and
Scream into an empty room
This has all been a joke
I think it’s all been some jacked-up hipster hoax
That I’m not cool enough to understand
I think it’s all been a ruse
What’s that? I laugh, I lose?
So tell it to me until it’s funny, man
If this has all been a joke
I think it’s all been a joke
I know it’s all been a hoax
I think it’s all been a joke
If this has all been a-
