lyrics

There's 80 million people in this country
almost everybody's struggling with their lives
there's 80 million fuckers, complaining 'bout the weather
I'd say check your privilege twice

theres half a million people in this city
mainly they are straight and mostly white
quite a bunch feels disconnected, like nobody understands them,
I'd say check your privilege twice

a couple folks are lying in this room
it's sad but some won't make it out alive
but they're lying in a hospital, (...)
I'd say check your privilege twice


did you have to escape
wind, water or burning flames
did you ever have to face
what it's like to look different
did you have to stand pain
with no one there holding your hand,
or giving you medicine

here's a guy playing the guitar
who's that Mr. Knowitall,
that fucker shouldn't give advice
man, I should check my privilege twice,
then I should check it one more time

sparkling wit and a disarming honesty. ... more
