Guilty Of Being White

(album: In My Eyes - 1981)

I'm sorry for something 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 sorry for something 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!
19 years of my time

I'm sorry for something 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
