[Verse 1]
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Angry White Man, what hangs in your head?
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Angry White Man, who isn’t listening to you?
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
What does it feel like in the pit of your gut?
Gm7 C
How long has it been since you felt understood?
[Chorus 1]
C
Was it one person or episode?
C
or a lifetime of betrayal that left you this way?
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
D7(#9)
Everything has to be black and white.
C7(#9)
Please I don’t want to end up like you.
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
[Verse 2]
Gm7 Am7
You scare people off who may fuck up your lawn
Gm7 Am7 Gm7
which welcomes no one but the scorching hot sun
Am7 Gm7
Am7 Gm7
D7(#9)
Everything has to be black and white
C7(#9)
Order and rules, keep ‘em in tightly drawn boxes
Gm7 Am7

Gm7 Am7
[Verse 3]
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
You fear the lazy, the humble, and sick
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Those with different traditions, ideas, and concepts
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Draw lines upon maps and say live over there
Gm7 C
or better yet far from here
[Chorus 2]
C
Somewhere deep inside that child was ignored
C Gm7 Am7
Who grew up to build walls from the people he cared for
Gm7 Am7
D7(#9)
Everything has to be black and white
C7(#9)
Jaded, heart hardened, with your piercing mean looks
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
[Verse 4]
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
You isolate yourself and shut your blinds
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
in that faux upscale midtown apartment
Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7
You shout get out get out! You use hurtful insults.
Gm7 C
that pierce through the most vulnerable parts!
[Chorus 3]
C
Loud voices and conjured fears
C Gm7 Am7
Submissive bots who consent without love
Gm7 Am7
D7(#9)
Crush those where they are vulnerable and weak
C7(#9)
Oh angry white man what kind of world do you want?
