Because Im a He — текст песни (Chumbawamba)

As soon as Im born they made me feel big

That I was privileged without having to be rich

They had a place set aside for me to help to run this society

If I followed the paths laid down for me

I could join the club called patriarchy

Because Im a he, because Im a he, because Im a he

If I didnt get far cause the ladder was too long

I could be my own boss, with a workforce of one

No matter how low I go therell always be lower

Its taken for granted that a white man holds power

And I am white, and Im a man, I dont have to justify what I am

And now its relatively easy for me to get taken seriously

Because Im a he, because Im a he, because Im a he

cause Im not black and Im not irish, Im not a woman

I dont get too much stick just for being what I am

cause I am white and Im a man, I dont have often to justify what I am

Now its relatively easy for me to get taken seriously

Because Im a he, because Im a he, because Im a he

Hassled--ive been hassled, but I dont get hassled on sight

I dont dread going out at night, I dont have to worry cause Im alright

Singing about it doesnt exclude me but if I keep quiet then all people see

Is compulsory white male superiority complex thats forced on me

Because Im a he, because Im a he

Its no good feeling guilty, its what I am

But its up to me to do what I can, by not being what Im supposed to be

By fighting white male supremacy

By fighting government policy

By fighting bosses of companyies

By fighting fascist democracy

But not forgetting to look at me, no, not forgetting to look at me

Not forgetting to look at me, because Im a he
