White Privilege (Live from BBC Introducing at Glastonbury) Lyrics by IDLES
How many optimists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Their butler changes the lightbulb
Always poor, never bored
The SLC want Timmy’s student loan back
He’d happily oblige, but he’s used it all on gak
Always poor, never bored
One miscarriage, two abortions
One degree, seven jobs
Sally danced her socks off as Jesus sobbed
Always poor, never bored
I coulda danced with another
On your stairs
Always poor, never bored
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing
Compensate with humor
Or if really bored, then sing
Always poor, never bored
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing, batter, batter, batter
Swing
Compensate with humor
Or if really bored, then sing
Ahh, never bored
Ha, yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah, dance till the sun goes ’round
Yeah
Yeah

The Y, the S, the O, the F, the U
The C, the K, the Y, the O, and the U
And you, and you, and you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, ah
