Karaoké 1985 Bo Burnham

He's a really cool guy

He's got a cool shirt

He's got cool shoes

Did I mention the shirt

If you ever got the chance to meet him you'd know why I want to be him

He walks into a room and everyone respects him

He reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him

He's really happy

He's thrilled to be alive

His name is any white guy in nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

He's got a job and a family

How does he do it

Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking

He's got all the answers that I wanna know

How can I be what I am but forty years ago

Gee whiz

He got it and he flaunts

I am the thing he is but he is it when I want

I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive and some people are white guys in nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

White guy

White guy

Nineteen eighty-five

Wait

It wasn't easy being any white guy in nineteen eighty-five

Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis

Some white guys were

Italian

And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now

I've misspoke

I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive

I think I just meant my dad in nineteen eighty-five

My dad

Nineteen eighty-five

My father

Nineteen eighty-five

My dad

Nineteen eighty-five

Scott Burnham

Nineteen eighty-five

My dad

If I could be anybody dead or alive

I would want to be my dad in nineteen eighty-five
