lyrics

If you can say you don’t care about age
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about race
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about sex
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about sexuality
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about wealth
You’re in a position of privilege

White people are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege
White privilege is like an invisible, weightless knapsack of special provisions, assurances, tools, maps, guides, code books, passports, visas, clothes, compass, emergency gear, and blank checks

If you can say you don’t care about body type
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about ethnicity
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about gender
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about religion
You’re in a position of privilege
If you can say you don’t care about age
You’re in a position of privilege

Rarely will a man go beyond acknowledging that women are disadvantaged to acknowledging that men have unearned advantage, or that unearned privilege has been good for man’s development as human beings or society’s development
Or that privilege systems might ever be challenged and changed

We must give up the myth of meritocracy
One’s life is not what one makes it
Many doors open for certain people through no virtues of their own
Many doors open for certain people through no virtues of their own
We must give up the myth of meritocracy
One’s life is not what one makes it
One’s life is not what one makes it
We must give up the myth of meritocracy

If you can say you don’t care about...
You’re in a position of privilege
