Privilege Songtext
von Television Personalities

Everything my master′s taught me
Everything my masters knew
I know I took it all for granted
And the same thing's let me down
You punish me and then forgive me
You beat me ′til 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
It′s one thing I never had
I never had privilege
It′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


You sent a letter to my father
So my father had to beat me too
And he beat me 'til the blood ran down my legs
Which is something you didn′t do
So what can I do to make you change your ways?

I never knew what it was I wanted anyway
I never knew what it was I was trying to say
What I was trying to say

I never had privilege
It's one thing I never had
Never had privilege
It'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
But 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
Never had privilege
