Hipper Than Thou is essentially School House Rock for obscure history and theology.
Hipper Than Thou is an ill fated collection of personalities with no commercial aspirations whatsoever. Our music is less bound by style than it is by talent. All songs are limited to the 9 chords our guitarist knows. Stylistically we range from Folk, to Jazz Folk, to Electric Folk, with a little Folk Rock.

Story behind the song
I've always thought the main difference between a lynch mob and our current justice system is basically how long it takes to reach a decision.
Lyrics
Democracy I'd never trust an emperor, That'd never do, No butler nor the janitor, And I don't trust you. But I trust everybody, To have an equal voice. I'm sure that'd never interfere with my choice. I'm free to eat the way I want, Every day at noon. To work until the whistle blows, Yabba Dabba Dabba Doo! They take my salary, to pay their poor. However I voted, against or for. It's called Democracy, of which I sing, Where the senators debate on how to let our freedom ring. And all the citizens, can plainly see, The subtle difference between a mob and a majority. They hate me in the fatherland, For my country's big boat. They love me in the promised land No matter how I vote. They take my children, to fight their war. Whether I voted against or for.
