	A song about the irony that is popular culture.

	Story Behind the Song This song is an observation of the seeming hypocricies and double-standards we hold towards popular culture, especially as teens, though I'm sure it stays with us all our life. A lot of focus on the state of affairs in the music world these days. Nothing's ever really new, just the same old thing in new clothes, which isn't to say that's a bad thing, but I think it's good to be aware of it. Lyrics The school bell rang And the hipsters hit the streets Armed with the latest fashions From the outmoded industry Listening to the cutting edge Derivatives from their parents' scene They laid to rest the prophets Who taught us reactionary mantras And they cried at the loss Of recycled philosophies That only skimmed the surface Of this stuff, humanity The answers to our questions lay undisturbed Next to a stash of cash and pornography As you can see There's not much interest in reality There's a fortune to be made In insincerity
