Privilege Songtext
von Patti Smith

I see it all before me:
The days of love & torment;
The nights of rock-and-roll.
I see it all before me.
Sometimes my spirit is empty;
Don′t have the'll to go on.
I wish someone would send me
Energy.

Give me smth.
Give me smth to give.
Oh, God, give me smth:
A reason to live.
My body is aching.
Don′t want sympathy.
C'mon. Come & love me.
C'mon. Set me free.
Set me free.


The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for His name′s sake.
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I′ll fear no evil, for Thou art with me.

Hey, Lord, I am waitin' for you.
Oh, God, I am waitin′ for you;
Waitin' to open Your ninety-eight wounds
And be Thee, be Thee.
Lead me, oh, lead me.

Leave me smth.
Leave me smth to live.
Oh, God, give me smth:
A reason to live.
I do not want no handout;
No, not sympathy.
C′mon. Come & love me.
C'mon. Set me free.
Set me free.
C′mon. Set me free
Set me free . . .


Oh, I am so young, so goddamn young.
Oh, I am so young, so goddamn young.
Oh, I am so young, so goddamn.
Set me free.

In the presence of my enemies,
Thou anointest my head with oil.
My cup runneth over.
Surely, goodness & mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Ah, damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn.
Here I'm.
