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 in 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
'Cause 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've got all the luck I need
