"Privilege"

Some things only exist if you believe
Read too much between the lines and see
Connections, misdirections, disbelief

Some things stand before we breathe
Have to adapt to the scenery
If you ever want it to change
Some times ignorance is necessary

I'm not saying we were never at fault
I'm just saying that if we continue on it's all
In our defense, unneeded
History needs not repeating
I'm not saying we're not capable
I'm just saying that it's cyclical
Don't start the engine running
If you can see yourself becoming

Some things don't need to be said
Let them live on in men's heads
For fear of what might spread

Some topics I've come to dread
Conclusions drawn and grown and fed
If there's an elephant in the room
Let's shoot it dead

I'm not saying we were never at fault
I'm just saying that if we continue on it's all
In our defense, unneeded
History needs not repeating
I'm not saying we're not capable
I'm just saying that it's cyclical
Don't start the engine running
If you can see yourself becoming
