Album: Privilege
Year: 2003
Everything my masters taught me
Everything I masters knew
I know I took it all for granted
And the same things let me down
You punish me and then forgive me
You beat me till I feel no pain
You shake my hand we both say thank you
And you hope it won't happen again
I never knew what it was I wanted anyway
I didn't know what it was I was trying to say
What I was trying to say
And I never had privilege
That's one thing I never had
I never had privilege
That's one thing I never had
Well if you've got letters after your name
If you've got someone who can take the blame
You've got privilege
That's one thing I never had
They sent a letter to my father
So my father had to beat me too
And he beat me till the blood ran down my legs
Which is something you didn't do
So what can I do to make you change your way?
I never knew what it was I wanted anyway
I didn't know what it was I was trying to say
What I was trying to say
I never had privilege
That's one thing I never had
I never had privilege
That's one thing I never had
Well if you've got letters after your name
If you've got someone who can take the blame
You've got privilege
Well, it's one thing I never had
It's one thing I never had
It's one thing I never had
It's one thing I never had
I never had privilege
