I think that there's more to this song that the other commentators seem to think. On one hand I think the singer is genuinely admitting that his life is easier because of his race, gender, orientation, etc. but at the same time he sounds kind of sarcastic. Consider the lines. "And I can get a girl pregnant, and just as easily flee Just like my straight white male dad did to me" Even though the singer is a straight white male he still grew up without a father. Yes he has advantages over other people in some situations but that doesn't mean his life is perfect or easy. I think that this song is making fun of both the people who think that being a straight white male doesn't make your life any easier while also making fun of the people who think it gives you a free pass in life. |
