White Privilege Lyrics

How many optimists does it take to change a lightbulb?
None!
Their butler changes the lightbulb

Always poor
Never bored

The S.L.C. want Timmy's student loan back
He'd happily oblige but he's used it all on gak

Always poor
Never bored

One miscarriage
Two abortions
One degree
Seven jobs
Sally danced her socks off as Jesus sobbed

Always poor
Never bored

I could've danced with another
'Cause she passed out on your stairs

Always poor
Never bored

Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing

Compensate with humour
Or if really bored then sing

Always poor
Never bored

Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing

Compensate with humour
Or if really bored then sing

Always poor
Never bored

Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round
Yeah!
Dance till the sun goes round

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
