Everyone I love Is an old dead white man I prefer old dead white men 'Cause they can't talk back They're dead They're peeling flesh They have no tongue Their lives are done My best friends Are old dead white men At least that's what my actual friends say None of which are old dead white men "Rebecca please, go outside! John Adams has been dead since 1826" "I appreciate how you begin to remember these things" I say to my friends After I talk about John Adams once again I refer to all My old dead white men As "Baby boys" Despite the fact they're not baby boys They're old dead white men I speak about them affectionately 'Cause they're dead and they can't talk back Is objectification of a dead body kind of wack? My favorite people Are old dead white men I can give them complex ideas More complex than the ones they actually had I write all my songs about them Just because you haven't heard my songs About old dead white men Doesn't mean that they're not coming Or they're not already there I'm just too far self-conscious To put them out anywhere Y'know These old dead white men judge All my songs Are about old dead white men Even the ones that are about me Are technically about Old dead white men I've always considered myself An old dead white man Despite the fact I'm not actually dead And I'm not old At least that's not yet But all my friends are old dead white men Except my friends who are not old dead white men I have a diverse set of friends None of which are old dead white men I don't hang out in cemeteries This is not Harold and Maude I have so many songs About Old dead white men I should have An old dead white man convention Otherwise known as Plato's Symposium I have so many songs About Old dead white men That I should have An old dead white man convention Otherwise known as Plato's Symposium Just a side-note Was Plato actually a person In addition to Socrates? My theory is that Socrates and Plato Are the same person Socrates wrote nothing Plato wrote it all What if Plato used Socrates As a mask Because he was too insecure For the Greeks and all? Y'know how these Old dead white men are But this inquiry Won't get me far Because that was too fucking long ago To be relevant now Old dead white men
