It's my privilege

NSFW Skirmish: Convenience (@unpronounceable)

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Oh isn’t this convenient Look what I found An 1962 penny on the ground

Oh isn’t this convenient Look what I found Money from my daddy given to me safe and sound

It’s my privilege It’s my birthright My prerogative I’m legitimate

Oh isn’t this convenient Look at my skin I’m white and healthy and gorgeous and thin

Oh isn’t this convenient Where was I born? First-world country with a silver shoe horn

It’s my privilege It’s my birthright My prerogative I’m legitimate

Oh isn’t this convenient Look at my bits A dick like I ought to have and thankfully no tits

Oh isn’t this convenient Check out my flex All of my crushes on the opposite sex!

It’s my privilege It’s my birthright If I inseminate It’s legitimate

Don’t say words like women Don’t say words like victim Not your privilege

Don’t say words like gay Fuck your equity all day It’s my privilege

Oh isn’t this convenient Look at my job Paid all the money and promoted to the top

Hell I earned it by being a man And white and rich, and anti-trans misogynistic, republican A hater of swifties and a fan of the klan a big-balled knob with a jerry can It’s my privilege

It’s my privilege It’s my birthright My prerogative I’m legitimate It’s my privilege It’s my privilege

Look at my bits A dick like I ought to have and thankfully no tits Check out my flex All of my crushes on the opposite sex! GODDAMN All of the edge – honest and aimed in exactly the Right direction delivered with enough smirking charm to land an (earned) ethnic slur I think you're my lyrics hero today

Say, was "legitimite" a nod to my "gingivite", itself an allusion to sodomite?

Great song Cyndy. I’ve decided as one of the privileged I’m going to sing it each morning as I’m spooning out my muesli. So witty and yet powerful. Brilliant.

Great attitude to this. Some killer lines/moments like "silver shoehorn" and "Legitimite" haha

This is controlled anger personified! And it’s sure to be angry about!

this is so good. loved “legitimite” this is such a fun sounding protest song. but i can still feel the rage through the satirical and sarcastic lyrics. really great work on this. super catchy

This is GREAT. Your delivery kind of remind me of Garfunkel and Oates here. ♥️ The pronunciation of "legitimate" to force the rhyme is a really nice touch. And all the sarcasm, so biting. I love it.

So convenient 💁 Great scathing lyrics, sadly we all know guys like this :/ I love the way you used the backing vocals sparingly, but effectively! Great skirmish.
