Privilege by The Beamish Brothers Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jeremy Beamish]
Had the day from hell but guess I can’t complain
She's been doing well I know she can’t relate
It’s been 3 years since we last met
Only caught up over text
Seeing you right now it’s clear that nothing's changed
[Pre-Chorus: Jeremy Beamish]
Ooo she make it look easy
Bet she wakes up every day smiling sweetly
Shopping sprees on the weekly
Gucci bags, gold necklace, making Wall Street jealous
[Chorus: Jeremy Beamish]
She got some privilege
Little bit frivolous
You know the type
Ambitious, nutritious
She's working at her daddy’s business
Oh, she got blissful ignorance
“With the best of wishes” yeah
Says goodbye with kisses
Drippin' in privilege
Drippin' in, drippin' in privilege
[Verse 2: Ben Beamish]
He’s selective with the company he keeps (No)
All the boys at polo share his fine beliefs
Problematic politics
With a private membership
To a club that’s only there for the elite
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Beamish]
Ooo he make it look easy
Bet he vacates somewhere expensive and beachy
Says whatever he’s feeling
“If you’re poor don’t worry, just go work, make money”
[Chorus: Ben Beamish & Jeremy Beamish]
He got some privilege
A little bit frivolous
You know the type
Ambitious, all business
He’s working out and taking pictures
Oh, he got wilful ignorance
Talks but never listens, yeah
Doesn’t ask permission
Drippin' in privilege
Drippin' in, drippin' in privilege
[Bridge: Jeremy Beamish]
Half the world’s just getting by
Underneath poverty lines
I know it’s easier
When we all compartmentalise
Throw a benefit or two
Make the headlines on the news
But is it good enough
When we’ve got so much more to lose?
You didn't think about that did ya?
[Chorus: Ben Beamish & Jeremy Beamish]
They got some privilege
A little bit frivolous
You know the type
Ambitious, prestigious
They’re working on their perfect image
Oh, they got blissful ignorance
With a touch of vicious yeah
Can’t pretend I’ll miss it
Drippin' in privilege
[Outro: Ben Beamish & Jeremy Beamish]
No no no privilege yeah
No no no no privilege yeah
With a touch of vicious yeah
Drippin' in privilege
Had the day from hell but guess I can’t complain
She's been doing well I know she can’t relate
It’s been 3 years since we last met
Only caught up over text
Seeing you right now it’s clear that nothing's changed
[Pre-Chorus: Jeremy Beamish]
Ooo she make it look easy
Bet she wakes up every day smiling sweetly
Shopping sprees on the weekly
Gucci bags, gold necklace, making Wall Street jealous
[Chorus: Jeremy Beamish]
She got some privilege
Little bit frivolous
You know the type
Ambitious, nutritious
She's working at her daddy’s business
Oh, she got blissful ignorance
“With the best of wishes” yeah
Says goodbye with kisses
Drippin' in privilege
Drippin' in, drippin' in privilege
[Verse 2: Ben Beamish]
