White Privilege
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How many optimists does it take to change a lightbulb?
None!
Their butler changes the lightbulb
Always poor
Never bored
The SLC want Timmy’s student loan back
He’d happily oblige but he’s used it all on gak
Always poor
Never bored
One miscarriage
Two abortions
One degree
Seven jobs
Sally danced her socks off as Jesus sobbed
Always poor
Never bored
I could’ve danced with another
'Cause she passed out on your stairs
Always poor
Never bored
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing
Compensate with humour
Or if really bored then sing
Always poor
Never bored
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing
Compensate with humour
Or if really bored then sing
Always poor
Never bored
