White Pride Doesn’t Age Like Swiss Cheese by Melodie Yvonne

How can you be so fucking psycho? Guess you have a fucking right though
‘Cause this system’s fucking broken, got nothin’ left here to hope in
I can’t even go outside ‘cause you’re so fucking triggered by
A life here different from your own, so I can’t even call this home

I just wanna mow my grass, grill some shit, and sit and bask
But this minor bit of difference has you hating my existence
You scream so fucking loud at me and I just wanted to be free
And now I just can’t even breathe, you’ve stole the life right outta me

I sit and dream of a fake world where I can safely be a girl
Where I can simply go outside without your fucking crazy eyes
Where I can plant seeds in the sun and have a tiny bit of fun
In a fake world where dreams are true with no nightmares because of you

You scream and scream so fucking loud, a wolf just tryin’ to blow it down
A wolf with a bad case of rabies actin’ like a spoiled baby
Mad ‘cause I won’t let you touch me or my kid that’s barely 18
Mad ‘cause I don’t wanna flirt with a vapid sexist racist jerk

I just wanna mow my grass, grill some shit, and sit and bask
But you just wanna start a war and burn it down to tie the score
I just wanna live my life without these constant struggles by
an aged white man who’s broke his pride and needs to conquer all in sight

I sit and dream of a fake world where I can safely be a girl
Where I can simply go outside without your fucking crazy eyes
Where I can plant seeds in the sun and have a tiny bit of fun
In a fake world where dreams are true with no nightmares because of you
