I ain't never been brown I ain't never been black
I ain't never been poor I'm from the right side of the tracks

The house that I grew up in  Had a lawn and a hedge
All the neighbours were like me We had white privilege

I didn't ask for it I didn't work for it
I just accepted it White privilege

I've got no holes in my teeth And my diction is O.K
People listen when I speak even when I've got nothing to say

I was shocked when I got the news
That even though I've paid some dues Enough to sing the blues
It's something I didn't choose

I didn't ask for it I didn't work for it
I just expected it White privilege

Even though my thoughts
And my heart are integrated
And I believe all men
And women are created equal
When you first see my face
Your first thought is not my race
It's not mine but it's a disgrace
White Privilege

I've never been brown I've never been black
I've never been shot And I've never shot back

I don't get stopped for nothing Because it looks like I belong
And even though I'm not conforming Seems I can do nothing wrong
I didn't ask for it I didn't work for it
I just expected it White privilege

Thinking I don't have it is appealing
"Justice for all" gives me a fuzzy feeling
But for my gender or my race
I never had to face
No I never had to face a glass ceiling

I didn't ask for it I didn't work for it
I can't ignore i White privilege
