A ballad written by me and JDP

Hipster Blues

Someone watched too many horror movies as a child
Told too many war stories as a teenager
So I put on my vintage June Cleaver apron and got to thinking
About the things I could be making you

Got my PBR and vintage guitar
Turned on the Bakelite playing my favorite song
By that obscure band I heard in
Por-r-r-rtland

It ain't cool, if they know about it too
It ain't cool, if they know about it too

Don't know if you know about it
Don't know if you're cool enough
Cause I'm ready to leave you because

You ain't cool, if you didn't know about it too
You ain't cool, if you didn't know about it too

Yes my vision is 20/20, but that never stops me from wearing my
gran-an-an-dad's specs
I barely saw you when you walked into American Apparel
Buying your friend a gift card to her favorite store

In your J. Crew shirt and GAP jeans
I almost screamed, "your clothes are so clueless, do you know what I mean?!"
Instead I sneered my judgment with a disgusted look on my face
You looked at me as if I didn't exist, no emotion, not even a trace

I ain't cool, cause I didn't know about you
I ain't cool, cause I didn't know about you.
