I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I didn't know who
You blame me
For slavery
A hundred years before I was born
[Repeat: x4]
Guilty of being white
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I didn't know who
[Repeat: x4]
Guilty of being white
I'm convicted
Of a racist crime
I've only served
19 years of my life
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I didn't know who
[Repeat: x3]
Guilty of being white
Guilty of being right
