Old White Men

What seemed proper in the past is unacceptable today Wake up, old white man, your jabbering is still the same The oppressed don't have a voice But now they stand up for their rights Die-hards, you're afraid of modern life You cling to long gone times Old white men Times have changed Get used to it, get over it Time to adapt or you won't fit Stop blaming us for your lack of perspective It trips so lightly off the tongue And sure, we all just got it wrong I know, we're so easy to hurt, right? Don't act like a jerk A rude awakening for some But still your ignorance goes on There's no set formula for change Maybe it's hate, not being afraid? That shouldn't keep us from calling a spade a spade Just giving in to fear, you are the sand in the gears Old white men Times have changed Get used to it, get over it Time to adapt or you won't fit Stop blaming us for your lack of perspective It trips so lightly off the tongue And sure, we all just got it wrong I know, we're so easy to hurt, right? Don't act like a jerk Don't you get it? Those rights belong to everyone Don't you get it? No matter who you are or Where you're from Don't you get it? We all have the right to life Don't you get it? Don't matter if you're Black or white Old white men Times have changed Get used to it, get over it Time to adapt or you won't fit Stop blaming us for your lack of perspective It trips so lightly off the tongue And sure, we all just got it wrong I know, we're so easy To hurt, right? Get used to it, get over it Time to adapt or you won't fit Stop blaming us for your biased perception Don't take that chance, you might get along Yes, you're so right and we're all wrong Just one thing that might truly work: Don't act like a jerk
