LYRICS:


Folks drinking heavy down at Scully's Bar Johnny Ray has given in
Breaking 3 years sober after Right To Work passed no union work since then
Door swings in walks that rich fuck Worley goes to Johnny Ray
Johnny Ray spills his guts like a real man and here's what Worley say
He says "it sounds like life to me" as if his friend's troubles don't got real cause
He just puts it down to effort and good character as if he ain't know the laws
Johnny Ray pushes back but he's too proud to ask Woley for some pay
Worley tries to make him drink more and I can't take more I stand up and I say


You sound real white to me
Like a fantasy
Where you're so set up you think life works individually
You friend shows you it's tough
And you say "suck it up"
As if you can say what counts as somebody's tragedy
You sound real white to me


You helped pave a road with your kisser got us hard for bombs and drones
Saying "we'll get who's behind Bin Laden" so we'll blow up families' homes
You own the kind of places cutting work and pay like your friend's trucking detail
With your stolen land, stolen pay, saying "sounds like life" when suffering's for sale


You sound real white to me
You think it's destiny
That your world rewards war-pushers who sell certainty?

And you say "hold on tight" to folks getting killed by the ride
Calling your friend's suffering "unpredictability"
Sound real white
To say you know it's tough
But just say to "suck it up"

Saying it's life to work to death, no guarantees?
You sound real white to me
