Privilege Is
(You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown; Walker/Leydorf)

Privilege is sitting in Starbucks, not getting followed, taking a nap.
Privilege is waffles at midnight, driving through any town on the map.
Privilege is not getting stopped by the town police.
White privilege is living life in peace.

Privilege is rioting freely, driving a car in a cloud of pot smoke.
Privilege is finding a taxi, taking the mic cuz you are so woke.
Privilege is not getting shot when you grab your phone.
White privilege is being left alone.

Privilege is morning and evening, daytime and night time, too!
White privilege is doing just ‘bout anything at all you want to do.

Privilege is jumping the turnstile. Running a red light – nobody scoffs. 
Privilege is getting a wrist slap – just call up daddy, he’ll get you off.
Privilege is nobody taking your kids away, white privilege is: They say you can stay.

Privilege is morning and evening, daytime and night time, too!
White privilege is doing just ‘bout anything at all you want to do.
