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
