Privileged At Birth

Hey now, Mister, eyes cast to the ground
You don’t need to walk with your head hung down
Always askin, “Where did it all go?”
And there ain’t no shame in things you can’t control

But it all comes down to what’s your life worth?
Is it time well-spent right here on Earth?
There’s no need to answer
If you’re privileged at birth

Hey lady, tears rollin’ down your nose
They just took away your babies ‘cause you got no home
Just a childless mother with a hole in your heart
Wearin' out your beads, prayin' for a new start.

But it all comes down to what’s your life worth?
Is it time well-spent right here on Earth?
There’s no need to answer
If you’re privileged at birth

Hey Brooks’ Brother in your big Escalade
Made all your money on an inside trade
How many toys will you have in the end?
Money and prestige are worth more than friends

But it all comes down to what’s your life worth?
Is it time well-spent right here on Earth?
There’s no need to answer
If you’re privileged at birth
