[00:03.12] He's a really cool guy

[00:04.71] He's got a cool shirt

[00:06.57] He's got cool shoes

[00:07.63] Did I mention the shirt?

[00:09.20] If you ever got the chance to meet him

[00:12.38] You'd know why I want to be him

[00:15.31] He walks into a room

[00:16.11] And everyone respects him (everyone respects him)

[00:17.96] He reads the news

[00:19.28] And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him)

[00:21.15] He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive

[00:24.33] His name is any white guy in 1985

[00:27.26] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:30.98] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:33.64] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:36.82] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[00:40.01] He's got a job and a family

[00:41.77] How does he do it?

[00:42.93] Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking

[00:46.47] He's got all the answers that I wanna know

[00:49.37] How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz?

[00:52.48] He got it, and he flaunts

[00:54.32] I am the thing he is

[00:55.66] But he isn't when I walk

[00:56.99] I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive

[01:00.96] And some people are white guys in 1985

[01:04.15] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:07.60] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:10.79] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:13.72] White guy, 1985 (1985)

[01:16.27] Wait

[01:18.39] It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985

[01:24.24] Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis

[01:29.45] Some white guys were Italian

[01:34.87] And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now

[01:39.18] I've misspoke

[01:41.31] I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive

[01:44.23] I think I just meant my dad in 1985

[01:47.31] My dad, 1985 (my dad)

[01:50.77] My father, 1985 (papa)

[01:53.69] My dad, 1985

[01:56.62] Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)

[02:00.06] I wanna be my dad (Scott)

[02:03.00] I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott)

[02:08.56] My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)

[02:12.70] My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor)

[02:15.47] My father was happier than I am

[02:18.40] If I could be anybody dead or alive

[02:21.04] I would wanna be my dad in 1985
