| Lyrics: | 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 |
