1985 Lyrics
[00:03.45] He's a really cool guy
[00:05.17] He's got a cool shirt
[00:06.72] He's got cool shoes
[00:08.01] Did I mention the shirt?
[00:09.41] If you ever got the chance to meet him
[00:12.74] You'd know why I want to be him
[00:15.46] He walks into a room
[00:16.72] And everyone respects him (everyone respects him)
[00:18.72] He reads the news
[00:19.53] And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him)
[00:21.71] He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
[00:24.47] His name is any white guy in 1985
[00:27.72] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[00:31.33] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[00:33.73] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[00:37.28] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[00:40.25] He's got a job and a family
[00:42.09] How does he do it?
[00:43.04] Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
[00:46.79] He's got all the answers that I wanna know
[00:49.57] How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz?
[00:52.78] He got it, and he flaunts
[00:54.48] I am the thing he is
[00:55.70] But he isn't when I walk
[00:57.53] I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
[01:01.17] And some people are white guys in 1985
[01:04.46] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[01:08.06] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[01:10.82] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[01:14.24] White guy, 1985 (1985)
[01:16.62] Wait
[01:18.67] It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985
[01:24.71] Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis
[01:29.65] Some white guys were Italian
[01:35.08] And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now
[01:39.63] I've misspoke
[01:41.69] I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive
[01:44.65] I think I just meant my dad in 1985
[01:47.56] My dad, 1985 (my dad)
[01:51.11] My father, 1985 (papa)
[01:53.68] My dad, 1985
[01:57.27] Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)
[02:00.59] I wanna be my dad (Scott)
[02:03.51] I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott)
[02:08.81] My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)
[02:12.73] My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor)
[02:15.79] My father was happier than I am
[02:18.67] If I could be anybody dead or alive
[02:21.62] I would wanna be my dad in 1985
[02:24.33]
[00:05.17] He's got a cool shirt
[00:06.72] He's got cool shoes
[00:08.01] Did I mention the shirt?
