| I am white
|
| And I’ve got everything I need
|
| No one clutches their purses when they’re in a room alone with me
|
| And I can drive through any neighborhood I please
|
| At any hour, and the police don’t do a thing
|
| So if I see a penny on the ground
|
| I leave it alone or fucking flip it
|
| I’m a straight white male in America
|
| I’ve got all the luck I need
|
| I’m a guy getting paid more than a girl with a degree
|
| And I can walk down the streets after dark
|
| No one wants to rape me
|
| And I can get a girl pregnant
|
| And just as easily flee
|
| Just like my straight white male dad did to me
|
| So if I see a penny on the ground
|
| I leave it alone or fucking flip it
|
| I’m a straight white male in America
|
| I’ve got all the luck I need
|
| I’ve got a pile of broken mirrors
|
| And I’m walking under ladders
|
| And I’m spilling tons of salt because to me that doesn’t matter
|
| Because my skin and my gender and my orientation
|
| Are the best things to have when you live in this nation
|
| I recommend it highly
|
| So if I see a penny on the ground
|
| I leave it alone or fucking flip it
|
| I’m a straight white male in America
|
| I’ve got all the luck I need
|
| Shit’s going to work out for me
|
| I’m a straight white male in America
|
| I’ve got all the luck I need |
