[Lyric] Privilege (Fortunate Fall)

An assumed level playing field
All that you know
Mutual give and take perceived
Privilege is shown

Take what you want not what you need
A culture of greed
Echoes in your defense of systems that bleed
Ignore a past of genocide
A world colonized
Continue to ignore voices you marginalize

A world that seems to center you
Rewarded respect
Entitlement to pick and choose
How others object

A history of forcing people to comply
Assimilation to survive

The backs of those that have died
Came and went so I can have the privilege to exploit another's life
Misrepresented by a guest
Intention's irrelevelent
Exploited for a selfish gain
Power imbalance sustained
