Ben Gallaty - American Tune lyrics

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 [Hook] So if I see a penny on the ground I leave it alone or f**ing 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 [Hook] So if I see a penny on the ground I leave it alone or f**ing 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 [Hook] sh**'s going to work out for me I'm a straight white male in America I've got all the luck I need
