Witless hipsters
Kids from the south side
South-west side: to be exact
You’re a wannabe

You got your sweet
New shiny car and
The world hates you: you’re better
Your shoes are so clean

Got no scuff marks
Cause you got homework
Instead, with: that brand new pen
Your hair’s blonde all year

Your school’s brighter
Than everyone else
Your football team: first in state
You say you’re the best
