I'm so worried about you

So afraid of what you might do

On a harmless day you start to complain

About the world going insane

About the things you can't say anymore

It freaks you out and it makes you sore

But it's not because you're old and white

You get to ignore the other side


You tried to be a good boy

Now try to be a gentleman


You got some work to do on empathy

Say goodbye those memories of

The good old days where you could do what you want

There are gone oh you can grunt

All you want yeah, they don't care

Cause all those years it didn't seem fair

Being old and white and way to smart

Great mind with a stony heart


You tried to be a good boy

now try to be a gentleman

If you failed to be a good boy

Now is the time to be a gentle man


You're going to lose your playground. Stop the fight

They won't rest until you're fired

It's a long sad tale but here's a fact

You kind of failed to show respect

Buy a house on wheels and move along

Find a spot where you think you belong

Oh I wish you luck and I hope you find

Good hosts who are nice and kind


So try to be a good boy

So you could be a gentleman

If you try to be a good boy

Oh you can be a gentle man

A gentle man

So try to be a good boy

So you could be a gentleman

If you try to be a good boy

You can be a gentle man
