PrivilegeThe Human League

Tough guy drove down in the night
Left his name behind
In a stolen Jaguar
Bother on his mind
Past the lights of Birmingham
Chipping by the law
Greets his destination
With a silent roar

One man had the greed
One man guaranteed
One man saw the light
One man went to fight

Privilege - takes it
Privilege - flaunts it
Privilege - keeps it
Privilege - bought it

Once he starts he can't be stopped
A hint becomes a howl
You turn away, you block your ears
But you still feel the growl
What was once a hollow corpse
Is very much alive
Now the threat from far away
Is standing on your drive

One man has the heart
One man stands apart
One man won't back down
One man demands the crown

Privilege - I want it
Privilege - I plead it
Privilege - I'll take it
Privilege - concede it
Privilege - don't hoard it
Privilege - unfreeze it
Privilege - award it
Privilege - I'll seize it

Overpower privilege
Seize the hour of privilege
Storm the tower of privilege
Privilege, privilege, privilege

Privilege - I want it
Privilege - I plead it
Privilege - I'll take it
Privilege - concede it
Privilege - don't hoard it
Privilege - unfreeze it
Privilege - award it
Privilege - I'll seize it

Privilege - I want it
Privilege - I plead it
Privilege - I'll take it
Privilege - concede it
Privilege - don't hoard it
Privilege - unfreeze it
Privilege - award it
Privilege - I'll seize it

Don't hoard it
Unfreeze it
Award it
I'll seize it
I want it
I plead it
I'll take it
Concede it

The Human League

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
