American Tune

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 gonna work out for me

I'm a straight white male in America

I got all the luck I need
