As soon as I'm born they made me feel big
That I was privileged without having to be rich
They had a place set aside for me to help to run this society
If I followed the paths laid down for me
I could join the club called Patriarchy
Because I'm a he, because I'm a he, because I'm a he
If I didn't get far 'cause the ladder was too long
I could be my own boss, with a workforce of one
No matter how low I go there'll always be lower
It's taken for granted that a white man holds power
And I am white, and I'm a man, I don't have to justify what I am
And now it's relatively easy for me to get taken seriously
Because I'm a he, because I'm a he, because I'm a he
'Cause I'm not black and I'm not Irish, I'm not a woman
I don't get too much stick just for being what I am
'Cause I am white and I'm a man, I don't have often to justify what I am
Now it's relatively easy for me to get taken seriously

Because I'm a he, because I'm a he, because I'm a he
Hassled--I've been hassled, but I don't get hassled on sight
I don't dread going out at night, I don't have to worry 'cause I'm alright
Singing about it doesn't exclude me but if I keep quiet then all people see
Is compulsory white male superiority complex that's forced on me
Because I'm a he, because I'm a he
It's no good feeling guilty, it's what I am
But it's up to me to do what I can, by not being what I'm supposed to be
By fighting white male supremacy
By fighting government policy
By fighting bosses of companyies
By fighting fascist democracy
But not forgetting to look at me, no, not forgetting to look at me
Not forgetting to look at me, because I'm a he


Mirror lyrics:

Not forgetting to look at me, because I'm a he
But not forgetting to look at me, no, not forgetting to look at me
By fighting fascist democracy
By fighting bosses of companyies
By fighting government policy
By fighting white male supremacy
But it's up to me to do what I can, by not being what I'm supposed to be
It's no good feeling guilty, it's what I am
Because I'm a he, because I'm a he
Is compulsory white male superiority complex that's forced on me
Singing about it doesn't exclude me but if I keep quiet then all people see
I don't dread going out at night, I don't have to worry 'cause I'm alright

au cafãƒâ© de la paix

clocks go forward

custom concern

dekadance

grown men don't fall in the river, just like that

a sight to behold

hard on me

lost

sandy a orilla do mundo (completa)

ca m'fout la frousse

ponte ahi

can i begin

perfect

don't cry baby

figure it out

seventeen

call me

mother mary

into the divine

seeing you tonight
