I've got too much privilege Can we tear my people down? Let us build a village And live off the ground And speak of myth and death Around the smoke of our breath I can't imagine The pain my people cause Like a 10-ton Gatling gun And every bullet counts for loss Where was I when we killed them all Someday, we're bound to fall I wish I could say sorry For the color of my skin And that I wish I could change The state things are in I wouldn't mind if you wanted to **** me For all the years of misery I've got love within me But moving pictures tell the truth We need a new beginning Peace is in its youth Living for each other Can only come from one another

Too Much Privilege
I've got too much privilege Can we tear my people down? Let us build a village And live off the ground And speak of myth and death Around the smoke of our breath I can't imagine The pain my people cause Like a 10-ton Gatling gun And every bullet counts for loss Where was I when we killed them all Someday, we're bound to fall I wish I could say sorry For the color of my skin And that I wish I could change The state things are in I wouldn't mind if you wanted to **** me For all the years of misery I've got love within me But moving pictures tell the truth We need a new beginning Peace is in its youth Living for each other Can only come from one another
