The Dead MilkmenAbout
The term “Fauxhemia” refers to a section of town that purport themselves to be filled with artists, trendsetters, and free-thinkers, but are actually high-rent areas filled with hipsters who can afford to live there.
This song is a rebuke of “hipster culture”.
Fauxhemia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just don't get Norah Jones
The other day I was on my way home
And on the radio in my car
I heard her interviewed on NPR
Even though I hate to admit it
I hear her music and I just don't get it
Maybe if I tried just a little bit harder
Then I could be just a little bit smarter
And like all the things I'm supposed to like
[Chorus]
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows when you leave the room
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows where you hide the food
[Verse 2]
I just don't get Norah Jones
Maybe this is why I feel so alone
Like some kind of social Cast off
Or a maybe modern Visigoth
And if I never get Norah Jones
There's a good chance that I'll die alone
Maybe if I took the matter in hand
Then I could be a smarter man
And enjoy the films of Wes Anderson
[Chorus]
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows when you leave the room
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows where you hide the food
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows where you hide the food
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows when you leave the room
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows when you leave the room
Your three hundred pound psychic baby
Knows that you’re gonna die soon
