1985 Lyrics

1985 - Karry_b

...

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

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

and he's really happy he's thrilled to be alive

his name is any white guy in 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

he's got a job and a family

how does he do it

balance his 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 40 years ago

gee-whiz he got it and he flaunts

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

I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive

and some people are white guys in 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

white guy 1985

wait

it wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985

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 need to lump a group of people in a hive

I think I just met my dad in 1985

my dad 1985

my father 1985

my dad 1985

Scott Burnham 1985

I wanna be my dad

I wanna be my dad in the 80s

my oblivious white dad in the mid-80s

my dad was an oblivious white guy

my dad was happier than I am

if I could be anybody dead or alive

I would wanna be my dad in 1985
