Andrew Jackson Jihad (AJJ) - American Tune Lyrics






I am white and I've got everything I need.
No one clutches their purse when they're in a room alone with me
and I can drive through any neighborhood
I please at any hour and the police don't do a thing.
So if I see a penny on the ground,
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
I'm a straight white male in America.
I've got all the luck I need.
I'm a guy getting paid more than a girl with a degree
and I can walk down the street at night and no one wants to rape me.
And I can get a girl pregnant and just as easily flee.
Just like my straight, white male dad did to me.
So if I see a penny on the ground,
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
I'm a straight white male in America.
I've got all the luck I need.
I've got a pile of broken mirrors and I'm walking under ladders
and I'll spill a ton of salt because to me that doesn't matter.
Cus my skin and my gender and my orientation
are the best things to have when you live in this nation.
I recommend it highly.
So if I see a penny on the ground,
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
I'm a straight white male in America.
I've got all the luck I need.
Shit's gonna work out for me.
I'm a straight white male in America.
I've got all the luck I need.

    I feel like this song almost comes at it from both angles, it acknowledges that some people are better of than others but it's also very tongue in cheek about it

    a.... b....

    I don't think they are saying that some people are better :/

    a.... b....

    It's interesting how many racists and "wah racism doesn't exist don't hold people accountable for the realities of our justice system" types listen to AJJ given they clearly, emphatically, repeatedly call your bullshit.

  18. N.... C....

    He's making fun of feminazis. The end.

    N.... C....

    Do you really think it's "making fun of feminazis" to refer to the fact that women have to be a lot more concerned about risk of being sexually assaulted?

    N.... C....

    He's making fun of people like you and people like me are enjoying it. Good day.

    N.... C....

    @Non Compos Mentis Fella, I think you're a bit ignorant. Put some thought in going forward. Youd have to be dull or vile to think it's satirical if you listen to it.

    N.... C....

    @Claude Wicked Still satire. AJJ hates feminazis. Have a good day.

  19. I.... ....

    It’s nice to hear someone singing this genuinely, I don’t think privilege applies to every straight white male but this song sounds like they are just grateful for their luck and that what it says to me

  20. C.... ....

    these comments whew. why do people get so triggered by this song

  21. s.... t....

    Poe's law hitting this comment section hard

    Does it really matter if it's satire or not? It's funny regardless. Appreciate the music how you want to, that's what it's always been about

  22. M.... M....

    This but unironically

  23. R.... ....

    I still listen for the kazoo

  24. l.... f....

    this is cancer of the ear

  25. l.... f....

    so if i find a penny on i pick i pick it up cuz im not Gey

  26. 4.... ....

    White privilege is a myth. but we all know that, im just here for the tune.

  27. A.... ....

    What I think the song is referring to is that everybody has issues. We're all humans with issue problems, no matter how good we may seem to have it. People who latch on to the straight white male part of it are exactly the people being referred to. AJJ doesn't deny privilege, but privilege isn't their point at all.

    That's my interpretation, at least. Stop pissing on each other; if you're that person, you must REALLY not be paying attention.

  28. g.... 6....

    Will you retards fucking cool it this song is satire

  29. A.... ....

    What an embarrassment, full of complete inaccuracies and hatred.
    I have no need to listen to this.

  30. A.... ....

    This song is ironic right?

  31. J.... S....

    Now on buzzfeed records

  32. B.... -....

    SOMEONE SANG THIS TO ME ON OMEGLE OMG

  33. L.... G....

    "I can get a girl pregnant and just as easily flee"
    isnt that a straight black male thing?

    L.... G....

    Lord Gold Throneroom i was thinking the same thing

    L.... G....

    Gents, the development of the lyrics at that point in the song are aimed at gender, not race. Pay attention.

    L.... G....

    Its a straight male thing

    L.... G....

    reality doesnt matter in grievance politics

  34. R.... G....

    Hahaha any jews in this band not to be weird just honestly wondering hahaha would like to know to though, really.

  35. Y.... M....

    i can't even find the shithole of a comment section below all the comments warning about the shithole comment section, so good job guys, i guess

  36. T.... U....

    How in the world is this a SJW song?

    T.... U....

    It acknowledges privilege, so it's obviously only for the most devout social justice warriors, because you have to be a hardline radical leftist to say that racism, sexism, homophobia or general heteronormativity exist and that people who aren't oppressed have anything resembling an advantage compared to everyone else.

  37. C.... S....

    why am i here? im deaf

  38. U.... ....

    YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE

  39. n.... B....

    yall can interpret the song however you like but sean bonnette is an outspoken progessive and has openly acknowledged white, male, and straight privilege.

  40. d.... ....

    once in a while i get this song stuck i my head. what a great, sad song.

  41. R.... ....

    I am from eastern europe. I can tell you that you will get shitted on if you are brown or whatever and nobody will give two shits. On the opposite if you are a migrant or whatever you will be treated uniquely and that is moronic. Just stop giving shit about people and give them an equal chance. Live and let live.

  42. A.... A....

    The Red Pill

  43. p.... ....

    man fucking 2011 man

  44. D.... ....

    I like how some SJWs try to use this as an anthem, when the song is openly mocking their message, that straight white males have it great. I can agree with the band's viewpoint- why should my opinions be invalidated because of how I was born? I've lived in the lower middle class all my life, and I sure am wondering when that white privilege is gonna kick in. I don't need some keyboard warrior breathing heavily while smashing the cheetoh dust into the keys while typing up an essay on why they know exactly who I am and how I live because I'm a white guy.

  45. h.... p....

    Feels good to be white!

  46. M.... H....

    flamebait of the century

  47. f.... ....

    My favorite thing is how people who hate a group of easily offended people are easily offended by ideas that challenge their own. Satire or not, the song has some clever lyricism and incites discussion and isn't that what good art does? The mere fact that the song is written in such a way that it could be interpreted in multiple ways speaks to the depth of the songwriting. I think Ayn Rand is a fuck, but Fountainhead is a great novel. Depending on the interpretation, i don't 100% agree with Sean on this track, but I still think it's a good track judging it as a song.

  48. C.... D....

    Nazi punks fuck off

  49. H.... O....

    MAGA WOOO

  50. n.... ....

    Remember the good old days, when people who just liked ajj talked about him. Now with feminism people think about this song completely differently

  51. Z.... S....

    This song is gold

  52. M.... W....

    I am white
    And I've got everything I need
    No one clutches their purses when they're in a room alone with me

    @Conor Drake Fair enough

    I'm black and I agree with spaghetti. This song really annoys me.

    s.... ....

    spaghetti fuck u idiot brain stupid soup

    Yup. Sean is a fucking retarded liberal but he makes great music, a trade-off.

  56. C.... M....

  57. R.... C....

    America is broken.

  58. L.... T....

    Hope this is ironic.

    L.... T....

    Of course is it is just listen to his other songs

    L.... T....

    Muffin Cannibal No, he literally means that he faces no problems in life whatsoever becausd people actually talk like he did in this song.

    L.... T....

    @Anonymous asdfg Oh fuck, that's a lot of sarcasm. I did dun it now.

  59. M.... F....

    I love this song, I really do. It's ability to make the internets many edgelords and lowkey MRAs prove that they're no better than their radical SJW counterparts is astounding.

  60. M.... ....

    Paris deserved it

  61. A.... B....

    but this is false

    S.... G....

    @will marshal bruh you've got an American psycho with a maga hat pfp I don't think your opinion matters

  66. S.... ....

    Well, it's obvious that this is tongue in cheek, otherwise he wouldn't write such depressive songs. Those come from the heart. You can't fake it. He obviously understands pain and other bullshit that life can deal, despite being a white man. The fact is, there's loads of white men who are unhappy with their lot in life, and suffer poverty, drug addiction, segregation due to their income or appearance. It's not all sunshine and rainbows for every white man. I'm not even a white man and I can recognize this. White men can have abusive parents, live in poverty, get addicted to drugs, face discrimination on different grounds. It's all possible and it all happens. I'm not saying that no one else's suffering matters, I'm saying that no matter what your demographic, you can still feel suffering. That's what I think this song means.

    S.... ....

    Thanks, finally someone who gets it. People who believe white privilege exists are the same people advancing racism. If they'd just wake up and recognize that we're all human, and all capable of poverty, pain, etc then we'd live a much, much better life. No one should feel guilty for being born. If I had to choose being born, I wouldn't have been hahaha.

    S.... ....

    @BGM Live! The big necro, but did you listen to the lyrics in the song? While there's obviously some hyperbole with "I've got all the luck I need", but many of the mentioned bits-- The lack of racial profiling by authorities, the lack of real threat of being raped or attacked for your gender, or sexuality. It doesn't actually say 'Straight White Males never suffer any hardship or are immune to it". But these trends exist, and have a tangible affect on the way people have to live their lives.

    S.... ....

    @BGM Live! Yes, so let's ignore that colored people face more issues than whites who are the exact same in every regard except race and just free up markets. Free markets solve everything right? You keep talking about advancing racism when let's fucking face it, racism is pretty advanced. The greatest trick a devil can pull is convincing the world it doesn't exist.

    Weak.... I hate bands that are intentionally amateurish. Isn't it a little disconcerting to all of you guys that the singer is tone deaf?

    c.... ....

    feel like I shouldn't butt in at this point cuz this thread is old but here we go anyway. on the subject of him bein either flat or sharp; it might be meant to sound like that? shouldn't a singer know how to sing their own song?

    c.... ....

    Moonylicous singing out of key sounds objectively unpleasant to the ear. Why would he intentionally create music that sounds bad?

    c.... ....

    chippchipp1 it seems to appeal to a certain and seemingly large enough group of people, maybe he's just sticking w/ what he knows works?

    c.... ....

    @chippchipp1 A lot of their music is not exactly pleasing to the ears on purpose. It's how a lot of music in the genre of Folk Punk is. I think the purpose is to stand out and therefore grab the listener's attention. In this case, it seems like he justc doesn't care about sounding good and is more focused on getting the message across.

    c.... ....

    chippchipp1 singing reflects his lyrics and seems to go pretty well

  69. N.... ....

    The nu-man anthem

  70. c.... ....

    this is like sarcasm saying he has all this privilege but his life is still shitty

    c.... ....

    How is not being taken for a criminal an unreasonable example of white privelege when so many black men are being killed by the police? How is not being afraid to walk home at night an unreasonable example of male privilege when so many women are (reasonably) terrified to? How is getting paid more than more qualified women an unreasonable example of male privilege when the wage gap exists? I hate to break it to you, but Sean Bonette is a social justice warrior. If you don't like it listen to a different band, or keep deluding yourself into thinking they would agree with your regressive politics even while you listen to songs in which they explicitly state why they don't.

    c.... ....

    @chippchipp1 Here's a quote from Sean Bonnette for you: 'They’re calling us, “Pussy social justice warriors” on Facebook. And it’s like, duh. I have a degree in social work, and I think it’s really important to be open to new ideas and to change with the times. It’s a constantly shifting cultural climate. People are offended and baffled that we did something out of respect for another’s culture, and it’s surprising. Honestly, the bulk of the people that are telling us to kill ourselves, I’m pretty happy to purge them from our listenership.'

    Open your mind or fuck off.

    Anyway, the point isn't that you're wrong, even though you are. The point is that you're listening to a song explicitly about why you're wrong, and choosing to believe it's about why you're right. That's some heavy delusional thinking, my friend.

    c.... ....

    @Ceighk that article is shit, implying that women are "forced out" because they choose to have children and have to work less is inane, and the "same fields" part ignores the different positions in these fields and the fact that men are more likely to work more hours, and as far as police shootings go black people are more likely to interact with the police than whites, and by focusing on the racial aspect of this we are ignoring class and police unaccountability that transcends race

    "The point is that you're listening to a song explicitly about why you're wrong, and choosing to believe it's about why you're right."

    I'm not though?

    c.... ....

    How are white males not privileged? We don't get racially profiled, we get a better chance of winning court cases or getting shorter sentences, and we don't get paid less. Plus, white males run the United States and Canada as of current, and have most of the power there.

    You have to listen to Knife Man as a whole to truly understand the perspective of this song. Listening to this song alone is like judging Biggie's "Ready to Die" album by simply listening to the "Fuck Me - Interlude"

  76. A.... O....

    I've heard them play this song live and it's very much so sung in earnest and the kind of rooms they play to happily sing along. It's not satire just because you don't like it.

    A.... O....

    Alice O'Farrell It's satire because he contradicts this song with every single other song he has written.

    This song is about how privilege exists, and it is very real, but it doesn't mean that you get a free pass on everything in life. A straight, white, male can have a horrible life just as much as anyone else can.

    G.... G....

    +Connor Clark It means something a bit different to me but I'd buy that.

    G.... G....

    +Connor Clark The point isn't that you can't have a hard life if you're straight, white and male. It's that your life isn't hard because of those aspects.

    G.... G....

    Sure, but the reason they are suffering isn't because they are a straight, white, male.

    G.... G....

    Imperator Furiosa is right. To me this song is stating that being a straight white male comes with some level of privilege. And even though you may still experience hardships despite those privileges; the privileges still exist and you should be aware of them.

    G.... G....

    Connor Clark the only privilege people in this world have is living in a first world country, any race privalege doesn't exist.

    I fucking love this song and the AJJ, I don't even care if this is satire. They're easily my favourite band because they're so depressingly honest and self deprecat

    I'm poor and white and male, yet when I see black people collecting welfare and driving sports cars and big cars, I'm privileged even though I'm a minority in my own city? I will admit there are a ton of spoiled white people, but that goes for all races. At least minorities are favored by legislation. Nobody will ever wake up to the source of all our problems, everyone is stuck in their left/right paradigms.

  83. s.... n....

    You all are saying,"Oh satire, it's satire!" But AJJ has made a song called Fuck White People and they've talked about shit like this before. So make of that what you will but tbh I just think the white people don't want to admit that racism exists and that privilege comes from racism.

    TBH, I experienced privilege a lot in my hometown. I was the whitest kid there despite being part Hispanic. When other more behaved but darker Hispanic kids went into the halls people would automatically think they were skipping, but once I went skipping all day and even stopped in front of the security guard but no one told me anything. And I wasn't a behaved kid with good grades. Sometimes it just depends where you are that determines whether you get privileged or not, but it very much does exist.

    I'll just stick to the rabbit album, this song is too edgy for me.

    T.... ....

    That's why it's called Knife Man; it's way too sharp and the edge will cut you.

    Liberalism: Fuck you dad! The ideology.

    @Ezra Block Okay.

    @Silvis Moon Okay then.

    Funny how all these super sensitive SJWs saying you shouldn't stereotype or oppress minority groups while they basically stereotype and shit on white people just because they were born white...

    Z.... B....

    @Blaze Howard nah.
    Plus I'm not your friend.

    Z.... B....

    +Zach B White people are not a minority group in the United States of America. They populate the majority of the urban areas, churches, businesses. They are the target audience because they are the majority. They are not under cultural assault from anyone, let alone a bunch of ANNOYING PEOPLE on the INTERNET.

    Z.... B....

    +Ezra Block But see that doesn't gel with me. It doesn't matter who's the majority and who's the minority we are supposed to treat everyone equal so this notion that oh "it's okay to talk shit about them because they are privileged" or "You can't talk shit about them they are an oppressed minority" is bullshit.

    Z.... B....

    +DirtBlockHouse I never said that. I said they aren't under assault.
    I hate racism directed towards anyone. We should all be treated as human beings regardless of Age, class, race, ideology, religion, gender, past crimes, sex, physical and physiological conditions.

    That doesn't mean that SJW's are a problem. We have much bigger things to worry about. No one is specifically subjugating white people.

    Z.... B....

    +Ezra Block look up south african genocide 70,000 dead because of race.

  88. E.... A....

    It's funny seeing how offended people get by this song.  We were born into this already preexisting system of white privilege, it's not your fault that it exists, but the least we can do is fight against it and other systems of oppression.

    E.... A....

    the funniest part is that both sides get offended. sjws get mad because it's making fun of the idea that white people have privilege. anti sjws get mad because they think this is sjws propaganda xD

  89. D.... W....

    Privilege doesn't exist. I'm not even white and I still had opportunities presented to me that would have been presented to whites. All you whiny shitters crying about how white male privilege exists are fucking laughably stupid. The opportunities are there, you're probably to engrossed in your liberal arts to actually take it, then cry about the gender wage gap :^)

    D.... W....

    @DanSwagote "I'm not privileged, says I!!"

    D.... W....

    @DanSwagote ive never been so agitated by a youtube comment before lmao because you sound so sure of yourself but you couldn't be more farther away from the truth, my friend. welcome to 2015, where being a black gay trans woman is JUST AS EASY as being a white straight cis male. yep, their social acceptance is totally synonymous in society's eyes!

    D.... W....

    +DanSwagote Your experiences do not designate the norm for all others.


    I grew up in a small southern town, wrought with poverty. I know from that experience that racism very much exists and effects peoples lives.


    But my personal history counts for shit when it comes to statistics my friend.

  90. S.... M....

    Privileged people agressively stating privilege doesn't exist only proves the existence of said privilege. The facts are IN THE FUCKING SONG.

    S.... M....

    @Progressive Feminist Do you even understand what satire is?

    S.... M....

    @James Smith IV no explan plz

    S.... M....

    @Blaze Howard Are you joking or asking for the definition?

    S.... M....

    Incorrect people aggressively stating that they're not incorrect only proves that they are incorrect! The facts are as follows: YOU ARE INCORRECT!

    :^)

  91. e.... L....

    i recommend it highly

  92. G.... J....

    i like it haven't even paid attention to the lyrics enough to make sense of them, just sort of passes you by, and before you know it a classic Britney hit of the 90s has popped on the wireless

  93. d.... ....

    I think there is more depth to this song that just "white people suck" as many people are interpretting it. Listen to lyrics, It's talking about a self-flagellating white guy, he is seriously going out of his way to do unlucky things to make up for his "luck" of being born white, and yet we learn he's actually not that lucky, he was raised by a single mother and has a dead-beat dad. Yet none of this supposedly matters to him because he's white, and therefore a shitty person who doesn't deserve anything he has.

    d.... ....

    @*****
    Good catch, im ashamed I didn't piece that together myself.

    d.... ....

    I thought Black guy were the ones who ran off after getting girls pregnant?

    d.... ....

    damanorelse this is just a way of saying that the playing field in american society is not as fair or as even as conservatives seem to think. and every other events he says is just classic andrew jackson jihad lyrics to reinforce the argument through comically exaggerated events. its the way they write - and its amazing. look back at 'i love you'- you really think they like to see kids get hit by cars? probably not. idk.

    i just love this song and id hate for someone to misinterpret it in a negative way. 😬✌

    d.... ....

    Rona Leigh de Guzman your way is the only negative way of interpreting it.

    d.... ....

    I do like your interpretation, as it kind of fits, but I don't think that's truly it.

  94. E.... P....

    have any of the commenters ever heard of satire before?? like real satire that doesn't target minorities? or did your ego just get bruised by this song? pity pity, shed a tear for me

    E.... P....

    there is no separation between satire on minority or satire on majority, there is juste satire and it's about everyone.
    People have to accept both or they are hypocrites

  95. B.... T....

    im so privileged that i have songs written about how fucking awful i am for being white, nice

    B.... T....

    @Ezra Block Yeah I did, it's just easier to assume we're morons that aren't speaking ironically

    B.... T....

    @Ezra Block The only problem here is that I didn't say anything in this thread other than respond to a friend. Go outside.

    B.... T....

    +BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON S-A-T-I-R-E its not that hard guys.

    B.... T....

    Who the fuck is Andrew?

    B.... T....

    It's obvious satire. You missed the entire point of the song.
    Sean's point in this song was that everyone can suffer through terrible shit, regardless of race, but there are still aspects of race that can lead to a more privileged life.

  96. H.... B....

    Tread lightly step dads. You may just raise yourself a serial killer that comes after you!

  97. r.... ....

    I am somewhat white-looking (not actually white), but people usually think I am, and I can tell you that people will react to you differently if you look a certain way, depending on where you are…you can't deny it, you can't sugarcoat how things are, and telling underprivileged minorities that the situation they are in is their fault (and not part of a bigger ladder of historical subjugation and cultural misunderstanding), which I hear all the time in Texas, makes things worse, anyone with half a brain can point that out. All of this arguing about who's fault it is that things are they way they are is futile at this point, we just need to start seeing each other as fellow people, co-inhabitants of this global civilization. Also, if you are somehow getting the message from this that you should be sorry to be white, you need your head examined…solidarity for racial/socioeconomic minorities, LGBTQA, and others does not somehow translate as hetero-hating, guy-bashing, reverse-racism…if you think it does, you are part of the problem...

    r.... ....

    There’s also varying factors some people are just shy but yes there is a difference in how well people are treated based on race
