Old White Man

lyrics

For the life of me, I don’t understand
Why we put the most powerful job in the land
In the greedy, heartless, blood-soaked hands
Of another old white man
Since 1776 they’ve tried,
A couple were younger and a few of ‘em died
But the large majority reached seniority
Before we granted them supreme authority
Businessmen, movie stars, layers, and cops
Who relied on their families to get to the top
Most of ‘em millionaires, all of ‘em men
And every election, we pick ‘em again

Old white man, old white man
Another president, another old white man
There’s gotta be someone better than
Another old white man

Half of ‘em promise that they’ll promote peace
While voting in favor of racist police
They shout all the slogans to get on the news
But they do it to hide White Supremacist views
The other half uses religion to hide
The fear and resentment they’ve locked up inside
They shout about freedom, ignoring the fact
That their policies put freedom under attack
We pick a new president every four years
But if you look at the history, the bias is clear
With the exception of Barry O
They’ve been older than dirt and whiter than snow
It doesn’t matter if you vote Red or Blue
When they’ve already made the decision for you
Even when qualified P.O.C ran
They put all their faith in an old white man.

Old white man, old white man
Another president, another old white man
Let’s think outside the box if we can
‘stead of picking an old white man.
Old white man, old white man
Another president another old white man
A woman of color would be better than
Another old white man
