I'm sorry For something that I didn't do Lynched somebody But I don't know who You blame me for slavery A hundred years before I was born Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Oh, I'm sorry For something that I didn't do Lynched somebody But I don't know who You blame me for slavery A hundred years before I was born Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white I'm a convict (Guilty!) Of a racist crime (Guilty!) I've only served (Guilty!) Nineteen years of my time! I'm sorry For something that I didn't do Lynched somebody But I don't know who You blame me for slavery A hundred years before I was born Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white Guilty of being white
