Van Hunt Designer Jeans lyrics

We need more room to breathe

Inside of our designer jeans

Would love to go rushing the banks

With an oxygen tank



But there's no movement on our own

Without a movement to push us along

Black presidents and immigrants

And green movements and hybrid engines



Oh, baby I know we feel more comfortable

In our status symbols

And the places we hold on the totem pole

Our political views, our tattoos and our hair-doos



Don't need no strategy

To get us out in our designer jeans

Message me on the bathroom wall

Original network social




People with nothing on their minds

Need only press a button to share online

Religion, atheism

Mass production and consumption of opinions



Baby, I know we feel more comfortable

In our status symbols

And the places we hold on the totem pole

Our political views, our tattoos and our heirlooms



Why can't we be who we are

Without selling it on a billboard

Sexuality, racial ID – we wear them like designer jeans



And when we lose the middle class

And we all move up from the back

Black is the new – the new white trash

The proof is written on our ass, baby
