[00:03.96] He's a really cool guy

[00:05.85] He's got a cool shirt

[00:06.65] He's got cool shoes

[00:07.98] Did I mention the shirt?

[00:09.31] If you ever got the chance to meet him

[00:11.97] You'd know why I want to be him

[00:15.42] He walks into a room

[00:16.77] And everyone respects him (everyone respects him)

[00:18.60] He reads the news

[00:19.41] And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him)

[00:21.27] He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive

[00:23.92] His name is any white guy in 1985

[00:27.37] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:30.56] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:33.49] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:36.94] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:39.85] He's got a job and a family

[00:41.45] How does he do it?

[00:43.04] Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking

[00:45.96] He's got all the answers that I wanna know

[00:49.16] How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz?

[00:52.34] He got it, and he flaunts

[00:53.93] I am the thing he is

[00:55.53] But he isn't when I walk

[00:57.66] I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive

[01:00.58] And some people are white guys in 1985

[01:05.36] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:07.48] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:10.40] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:13.59] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:16.26] Wait

[01:18.12] It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985

[01:24.76] Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis

[01:28.50] Some white guys were Italian

[01:34.59] And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now

[01:39.63] I've misspoke

[01:41.76] I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive

[01:44.15] I think I just meant my dad in 1985

[01:47.34] My dad, 1985 (my dad)

[01:50.79] My father, 1985 (papa)

[01:53.45] My dad, 1985

[01:56.90] Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)

[01:59.82] I wanna be my dad (Scott)

[02:03.01] I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott)

[02:08.85] My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)

[02:12.31] My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor)

[02:15.76] My father was happier than I am

[02:18.69] If I could be anybody dead or alive

[02:21.12] I would wanna be my dad in 1985
