White Privilege Lyrics

Start up my motor
Eat, drink, some burgers and cola
Feed my addictions and vices
Oh how my iPhone entices
My echo chamber media
Regurgitated trivia
Here for the left and the right
Catered for privileged whites

Signing online petitions
Thinking I'm making a difference
Don't wanna hear about Brexit
Them old cunts fucked up our exit
My generation was duped
The youth were left out the loop
Lies on both sides of the fence
Left me completely bereft

My bio reads public figure
Latin for check out my figure
Don't even know why they're famous
But god they're so entertaining
I wanna copy what you eat
How you look, who you fuck
Wanna be anybody but me
I wanna be anybody but me
I wanna be anybody but me
Wanna be anybody but me
Wanna be anybody but me

Everybody's offended
The joke that just keeps on giving
I'm not entirely sure
The nit picking can count as progression
I'm chewing popcorn
Sitting in the back row
Watching while the whole damn thing implodes

Nobody talks to each other
For fear of different opinions
They call the bigots dumb
For buying into fear from the papers
Smug liberal arrogance
Working class don't fuck with it
It's all just ammunition for the right wing press

The patriarchy is real
The proof is here in my song
I'll sit and mansplain every detail
Of the things it does wrong
'Cause I'm a white male
Full of shame
My ancestry is evil
And their evil is still not gone

Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone

Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone
Their evil is still not gone

What is the Meaning of White Privilege?

In a world where social media reigns supreme, Sam Fender delivers a scathing critique of our digital age. With biting sarcasm and raw honesty, he peels back the layers of our obsession with online personas and the superficiality that often accompanies it. The song is an indictment of armchair activism, the triviality of celebrity culture, and the polarized political climate. It also confronts white privilege and his own complicity as part of a system rooted in oppression. Fender's self-awareness shines through as he acknowledges his ancestors' wrongdoings and expresses shame for their lingering effects. A powerful call to action wrapped in catchy verses, this song implores listeners to break free from their echo chambers and engage in meaningful dialogue.
