Artist picture
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
Tim Robbins was on C-Span or some other minor channel giving a speech about how important free speech is and that it's just wrong how people were speaking poorly of his wife.
Lyrics
I believe in what's right, there ain't no question. I will fight the good fight, and speak my peace. I guess I'm just not speaking too clearly, cause surely they'd agree. I'm at patriotic man, you'd best not question. And my political stance, is on TV. Every man should stand and be counted, but don't be threatening me. I'm going to speak my mind, Everybody tells me speech is free. It's every citizen's sacred right, So say what you want, but not about me. Like an echo I hear, their persecution. They are trying to smear, my wholesome name. I might have possibly questioned their motives, but this is not the same. Words are powerful, uncontrollable. They build divides or they build consensus. I'm free to speak my mind, to demonstrate or write. I should be free from the consequences.
