          Am 
and I can drive through any neighborhood I please

at any hour and the police don't do a thing. 
     F       G             Am

and I can walk down the street at night and no one wants to rape me. 
Am 
And I can get a girl pregnant and just as easily flee. 
          F                       G          C 
Just like my straight, white male dad did to me.

           G                            Am 
and I'll spill a ton of salt because to me that doesn't matter. 
F                               C 
Cus my skin and my gender and my orientation 
        G                            Am 
are the best things to have when you live in this nation.

I recommend it highly. 
   F          G            Am
