    Bo Burnham - Straight White Male Lyrics
    Make Happy Tour
    #boburnham
    Full Lyrics:
    Walking around, I've got no one to talk to
    There's everyone, and then there's just me
    If I could change, don't you think that I'd do it
    God only knows why he cursed me to be
    a straight white male
    I state my problems
    other people roll their eyes
    Three trips to the mall
    and zero khakis in my size
    I've never been the victim
    of a random search for drugs
    But you can't say my life is easy
    until you've walked a mile in my UGGs
    Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
    The women want rights
    The gays want kids
    Can't you just leave us alone?
    And also, no, to the things you asked for
    Everyone thinks that I've got it easy
    Just 'cause it's true, doesn't mean that it's right
    So pull up a chair, and put down your pitchfork
    Give me a chance to show you what it's like
    to be a straight white male
    The churches never made me
    Feel ashamed of who I am
    But I get e-mails from Quiznos
    that g-mail doesn't mark as spam
    My country's Constitution was
    hand-written by my race
    But my wife bought me the brand new iPhone
    with an iPod Touch's case (it doesn't fit that phone)
    Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
    The women want rights
    The blacks want not to be called the blacks
    Can't you just leave us alone?
    And also, no, to the things you asked for
    No
    Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
    The women want rights
    The African-Ameri-it doesn't work for the rhythm of this song
    We used to have all the money and land
    We still do but it's not as fun now

      Honestly if you just listen to the piano by itself you would think it's some pretty professional music. But then you put the lyrics to it and then it's completely different. I'm not saying it's bad with lyrics I'm just saying their is a huge difference between the music by itself then the music with lyrics

Men can get blamed for rape and imprisoned before any court and even if the woman admits she made it up she barely gets any time or fine if any at all and no matter that the man's life is ruined forever because no matter how many times he is proven innocent he will never have a normal life (quick note I don't support rape and every rapist needs to die). Devorce casees oh man don't even get me started. 9/10 cases will end up with the man seeing his children maybe 1-2 times a month at most and pay child support on top of that half of his thingsare taken by the woman even if he had them pre marrige.

      Honestly I don't like the concept of saying that "Straight White Men" will never have to experience problems because of their gender, race, or sexual orientation. What's the point of saying that. There's always a scenario where any person could be faced with injustice because of something about their composition. Like the Menendez case from the 1980s about 2 teen boys who shot and killed their parents. They had been violently sexually abused their whole lives by their mom and dad, and killed them out of self defense. They said they knew their parents were going to kill them. Guess what, they were found guilty of murder. The prosecution testified they killed their parents for money, and the judge made a statement saying men could not be sexually abused. Apparently the jury thought so too. If they were 2 teen girls killing their sexual abusers, no doubt the jury would never have bat an eye. On top of that, the jury was hung twice before the guilty verdict. Literally anyone can experience any injustice because humanity is evil and will cause wickedness anywhere. Yes, black, gay, and female people experience injustices, but so can any other type of people. Like saying they CANT denies human nature.

  • @norahsullivan9716

    One thing in this song that I love and think is absolutely genius is the part where Bo tries to switch out the term "blacks" for African American's and then stops himself and says it doesn't fit with the rhythm. It's a funny joke, but it also helps to show one of the main points in the song. Straight white men have been told how to fix some of the issues, such as change the names they use to describe people, only for them to act as if they can't do it. Instead of changing the rhythm to accommodate the new term, he simply says it doesn't fit with the rhythm he's already established, and isn't willing to change it. I don't know if this was intentional or not but I think it's a really neat detail.

      @@decrulez Honestly straight white males have a talent to make any given term derogatory, so I suspect it's less about the term itself and more about the fact it's not already being used as an insult. Full disclosure, I'm a straight white male myself and am likely missing some insight into this, but there does seem to be a cycle to these things. Especially consider that previously "negro" was also used, although I don't know enough of the history to say if "black" as a noun was at some point changed to as it was considered less insulting or whether the switch was due to other cultural factors.
