[Verse 1]
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 (Let that shit affect him)
He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
His name is any white guy in 1985

[Chorus]
White guy, 1985 (White guy, 19-80--)
White guy, 1985 (White guy, 1985)
White guy, 1985 (White guy, 19-80--)
White guy, 1985 (White guy)

[Verse 2]
He's got a job and a family; how does he do it?
Balances 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 it and he flaunts
I am the thing he is, but he is it when I want
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
And some people are white guys in 1985
