White Guy In A Western World
from: Time Has Come
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
Got to be rough got to be tough
Always got to have the last word
Telling us to go for the gusto
I think that we are full of ourselves
I know that we are walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
Of course it's all about power
But this is the part about wheels
I'm talking fast hard smooth and quiet
I'm talking 'bout the automobile
This is the part about sexuality
Same as what I said for wheels
He wants to be your virtual reality
But power is all he feels
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
He's heard the word starvation
"Excuse me while I change my socks"
Bones with eyes, dying
Are just pictures on a talking box
And the sounds of the city below him
"Excuse me while I set these locks"
92.5 FM rocks rocks rocks
Baby I'm not the kind of guy
Who likes to say when he is scared
Maybe I never got over
The Boy Scout motto
Be prepared for the worst
Cause you know it's gonna come
You can never hide from God
Man it hurts when you know
You are a jerk
And you didn't have to try too hard
Man it's incredible, being a white gut in the western world
Got to be rough got to be tough
Always got to have the last word
Go for the gusto
I think that we are full of ourselves
I know that we are walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
This is the part about mail order catalogue
This is the parts about guns
This is the part about attempted suicide
Oh his only begotten son
This is the part about bypass surgery
Blood won't feed his heart
This is the part about the wind and the rain
On a tombstone after dark
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
Got to be rough got to be tough
Always got to have the last word
Telling us to go for the gusto
I think that we are full of ourselves
I know that we are walking on a thin line
Angry all the time
Man it's incredible, being a white guy in the western world
