lyrics

Strange Privilege

Being Caucasian comes with a backpack Full of privilege, don't you know
I can mostly do whatever i want and
Go where i want to go

And I will never be called a terrorist
No matter what I do
Cause of the color of my skin
Its not right but it is true

Strange privilege...

It is the strangest form of privilege
For mass murderers who are white
Not to get the terrorist label.
Am I right? Of course I'm right

I could blow up a government building
Or set fire to a school
And you still wouldn't call me a terrorist?
That's not cool.

That's a Strange Privilege....

I c‎ould shoot a bunch of people
Nail them all to christmas trees
And you still wouldn't call me a terrorist?
I mean, please.

Strange privilege.....

I could booby trap a playground
Hand out poison halloweeen candy
Thanks but no thanks this kind of privilege
Ain't gonna ever come in handy

If hold hostages in a shotgun shack
Just call me what I am
Asshole fuckface terrorist
White American

(We don't need this)
Strange, strange privilege
Strange privilege
Strange privilege

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
