American Tune lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So if I see a penny on the ground
I leave it alone or f*cking flip it
I'm a straight white male in America
I've got all the luck I need

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
So if I see a penny on the ground
I leave it alone or f*cking flip it
I'm a straight white male in America
I've got all the luck I need

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
So if I see a penny on the ground
I leave it alone or f*cking flip it
I'm a straight white male in America
I've got all the luck I need
sh*t's going to work out for me
I'm a straight white male in America
I've got all the luck I need
