C                                     Am
I am white and I've got everything I need.
F                                        G                    C
No one clutches their purse when they're in a room alone with me
          C                                Am
and I can drive through any neighborhood I please
      F            G                  C      C7
at any hour and the police don't do a thing.

     F       G             Am
So if I see a penny on the ground,
F           G             Am
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
F                   G           C C/B Am
I'm a straight white male in Am-er-i-ca.
        F       G       C
I've got all the luck I need.

C                                              Am
I'm a guy getting paid more than a girl with a degree
F                               G                              C
and I can walk down the street after dark and no one wants to rape me.
          C                                      Am
And I can get a girl pregnant and just as easily flee.
          F                       G          C   C7
Just like my straight, white male dad did to me.

F                                         C
I've got a pile of broken mirrors and I'm walking under ladders
           G                            Am
and I'll spill a ton of salt because to me that doesn't matter.
F                               C
Cus my skin and my gender and my orientation
        G                            Am
are the best things to have when you live in this nation.
F                    Fm   C      C7
I recommend it highly.
