Songtekst Silence Is A Privilege – Pieter Tak

De treffende tekst van deze song is van Kevin Groen.

They were sexually harassing women, 
but I’m not a woman so I kept quiet.
They were making fun of disabled people, 
but I’m able-bodied so I walked away.
They were intimidating Muslims,
but I’m an atheist so I looked the other way.

They were scolding poor people
for not working harder,
But I’m not poor so I counted my blessings.
Blessings

They were asking for help,
but I managed on my own so why should I care...

They were discriminating PoC, 
but I’m white so I ignored it.
They were physically assaulting LGBTI people, 
but I’m a straight person so I kept to myself.
They were telling foreigners to go back home, 
but I’m a local so I remained silent.

They were telling foreigners to go back home 
but I’m a local so I remained silent
Silent

They were asking for help,
but I managed on my own so why should I care...
