A song meant to bury the 1980s still has relevance in the 2020s.
lyrics
Just so sick of this hip flip shit, uh huh, uh huh
This new age scene has really hit the pits, uh huh, uh huh
Too cool fools say they're breaking the rules, uh huh, uh huh
But they stick in cliques, never take no risks, uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
CHORUS:
Holy spit, it's hit, it's here
It's all the rage on Rush Street
Holy spit, it's hip, it's here
In all the mini malls
Holy spit, it's hit, it's here
Marketing perfection
Holy spit, it's hip, it's here
Oh so cool in pastel
Holy spit, holy spit, holy spit
Holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy spit!
They pretty up lies and call it life, uh huh, uh huh
They sell ways away from any white strife, uh huh, uh huh
It's one for the money and two for the show, uh huh, uh huh
But they're all dressed up with nowhere to go, uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
CHORUS
They pretty up lies (x8)
Holy spit (x10)
Holy....
