Gov't Mule - What Is Hip? Lyrics

So, you wanna jump out your trick bag
Ease on into a hip bag
Ain't just exactly sure, now what is hip

Started to let your hair grow
Spent bucks to get your wardrobe
Somehow, you know there's much more to the trip

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip? If you're really hip, the passing years will show
Into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip
But what is hip?

You became a part of a new breed
Smokin' only the best weed
Hangin' out from the so called hippie set

And seen in all the right places
Seen with just the right faces
You should be satisfied but it ain't quite right

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip? If you're really hip, the passing years will show
Into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip
But what is hip? Ohh, yeah

Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't

So, you went and found you a guru
In an effort to find you a new you
Maybe even manage to raise your conscious level

While you're striving to find the right road
There's one thing you should know
What's hip today, might become passe'

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip? If you're really hip, the passing years will show
Into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip
But what is hip?

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip? If you're really hip, the passing years will show
