Bo Burnham - 1985

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 (Everyone respects him)
He reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him (doesn't let that shit affect him)
He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
His name is any white guy in 1985

He's got a job and a family how does he do it?
Balances 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 in any bar
So I am the thing he is
But he isn't when I walk
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to be alive
And some people are white guys in 1985

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 misspoke
I don't need to let a group of people in a hive
I think I just met my dad in 1985
