The Hipsters
They're called bourgeois-bohemians
Or just hipsters for the close ones
In Vincent Delerm's songs
They're found at every rhyme
They're a new class
After the snobs and the working class
Not far from the rednecks, though more classy
I'm going to paint you a picture
They're a bit artsy, that's something
But their passion is their job
In IT, the media
They're proud to pay a lot of taxes
The hipsters, the hipsters
The hipsters, the hipsters
They live in upscale neighborhoods
Or in the suburbs but in a loft
Trendy artist studios
Much more fashionable than Avenue Foch
They have well-behaved children
Who have read The Little Prince at 6
Who go to private schools
Devoid of scum, you get me
They smoke a joint from time to time
Do their shopping at organic markets
Drive a 4x4, but more often
Prefer to get around by bike
The hipsters, the hipsters
The hipsters, the hipsters
They read Houellebecq or Philippe Djian
Les Inrocks and Télérama
Their bedside book is Cioran
Next to the Ikea catalog
They like Japanese restaurants and Korean cinema
Spend their holidays in Cap Ferret
The French Riviera, honestly, sucks
They mainly watch ARTE
Canal Plus is for losers
Except for PSG matches
And occasionally a little porn
The hipsters, the hipsters
The hipsters, the hipsters
They listen on their hi-fi system
To France-Info all day long
Alain Bashung, Françoise Hardy
And of course Gérard Manset
They love Desproges without even knowing
That Desproges hated them
Bedos and Jean-Marie Bigard
Even if they're ashamed to admit it
They love Jack Lang and Sarkozy
But always vote Green
They adore the mayor of Paris
Ardisson and his buddy Marc-O
The hipsters, the hipsters
The hipsters, the hipsters
The woman shops at Diesel
And the man gets deals at Kenzo
For their always pristine cashmere
Zadig & Voltaire, I say bravo
They frequent many museums
Art galleries, old bistros
Drink chilled manzana
While listening to Manu Chao
My pen is a bit cutting
For these people I don't like too much
In some ways, I imagine...
That I'm also part of the bunch
The hipsters, the hipsters
The hipsters, the hipsters
