The Hipster Song by Ren Stedman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be a hipster ‘cause it’s stylish to dress bad
By looking weird, growing my beard, and wearing 1990’s plaid
I bought for twice the price of what it’s really worth
Because I got it from a thrift shop and a dead man wore it first
I sit in coffee shops all day and read a novel while I crochet
I don’t work I volunteer, man, and go and spend my parents' wage

[Chorus]
I wanna be trendy
I wanna be trendy
I wanna roll my jeans above my ankles, wear my Grandad’s coat
I wanna be trendy
I wanna be trendy
I wanna drink wine although it tastes disgusting, find cigars to smoke
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you

[Verse 2]
I wanna be a hipster ‘cause nostalgia’s really great
And I obviously dressed like this when I was only 8
We’ll talk about the bands we like, but I'm cool ‘cause I despise
Anything written or recorded after 1995
I eat organically and actively
Promote how to live naturally
Off starbucks ‘cause their politics make total utter sense to me
And they just give me caffeine
[Chorus]
I wanna be trendy
I wanna be trendy
I wanna roll my jeans above my ankles, wear my Grandad’s coat
I wanna be trendy
I wanna be trendy
I wanna drink wine although it tastes disgusting, find cigars to smoke
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you

[Bridge]
And my glasses aren’t prescription
They just look good on my face
They distract the fact
That I am talking bullshit once again
About how I can’t pay my bills this month
But magically have booze and drugs
But I only take the drugs considered trendy

[Outro]
I wanna be trendy
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you
'Cause I’m trendy and more hipster than you
