old white man - pink williams lyrics

[intro]
for the life of me, i don’t understand
why we put the most powerful job in the land
in the greedy, heartless, blood*soaked hands
of another old white man

[verse 1]
since 1776, they’ve tried
a couple were younger and a few of them died
but the large majority reached seniority
before we granted them supreme authority
businessmen, movie stars, lawyers, and cops
who use thеir families to get to the top
most of our millionairеs and all of them men
and every election, we pick them again

[chorus]
old white man, old white man
another president, another old white man
there’s gotta be something better than
another old white man

[bridge]
we’ve had a lot of u.s. presidents
and here’s a list of all the ones that were white
washington, adams, jefferson, madison
monroe, adams, jackson, van buren
harrison, tyler, paul, taylor
fillmore, pierce, buchanan, lincoln
johnson, grant, hayes, garfield
arthur, cleveland, harrison, cleveland
mckinley, roosevelt, taft, wilson
harding, coolidge, hoover, roosevelt
truman, eisenhower, kennedy, johnson
nixon, ford, carter, reagan
bush, clinton, obama wasn’t
trump’s some kinda orange
and biden’s the oldest and whitest of them all
[verse 2]
half of them promise that they’ll promote peace
while voting in favor of the racist police
they say all the slogans to get on the news
but they do it to hide their white supremacist views
the other half uses religion to hide
all the fear and resentment they got locked up inside
they shout about freedom, ignoring the fact
that their policies put freedom under attack

[verse 3]
we pick a new president every four years
but look at the history, the bias is clear
with the exception of barry o
they’ve been older than dirt
and they’ve been whiter than snow
it doesn’t matter if you vote red or blue
they’ve already made the decision for you
even when qualified poc ran
we put all our faith in an old white man

[chorus]
old white man, old white man
another president, another old white man
let’s think outside the box if we can
instead of picking an old white man
old white man, old white man
another president, another old white man
a woman of color would be better than
another old white man
