Entitlement

Jack White

“Entitlement” is the eighth track on Jack White’s second solo album Lazaretto (2014).

This gentle ivory-tinkling number finds White railing against the 21st century’s younger generation’s desire for instant gratification. White practices what he preaches. For instance, at home he only allows his two children, Scarlett and Hank, to play with mechanical toys:

“There’s romance and beauty in that in a real physical way,” he told The Observer, “and that’s more important for them than to just quickly cop to video games and iPads.”
