Nude With Gun

from Black Owls by Black Owls

/

about

A song about hipster underground art music scenes. Worry not, we make fun of ourselves as much as anybody else in this one.

lyrics

Your band of hipsters, you know they hurt my ears
their sense of irony shallow
when covering Brittany Spears
but I like their handlebar moustache's
& I like their skinny jeans
but they use too many pedals
& I don't know what the fuck their lyrics mean

And they wrote a song about you
they called Nude with a gun
& I think that's kind of funny
but they're not being very fun
& their burdens on the public
& their genius is lost on me
But they must be something special
& I'm just too dumb to see

You used to date the singer, you're with the drummer now
this bands your new direction
so it's got to work somehow
You like their beards and ballcaps, & you like their tree tattoos
& You like them taking pictures
of you with guns in the nude

They're going to do a whole set based on the poetry of Wendell Barry
They're going to play it in the basement of their trust fund bakery
there will be PBR, there will be pipes stuffed with borkum riff
there will be handmade tee shirts, & there will be fix gear rallies
there will be white belts, there will be messengers, & there will be buskers
there will be Holga cameras, there will be vintage japanese denim jeans,
there will be duct tape wallets, & there will be prescription Ray Ban sunglasses,
there will be nitto stems and campy cranksets, and there will be local gin
there will be George Jones playing in the background, so please come in.
