Guilty - Lyrics by Ben Folds Five


Lyrics
Another guilty white boy, won't you turn me in?

Always had it easy, charge me for my sins


Ain't been through the slavery, ain't been through the cotton fields

Through the back of a ....., cos I'm guilty


Ain't been through the slavery, ain't been through the cotton fields

Through the back of a ....., cos I'm guilty


Broken bones and bruises, Daddy brought the ball this far

But living on his shoulders, he passed it with his car

I've been through the little league, a 9 years old in the social arena

Oh baby gonna be an appeal, cos I'm guilty

I've been through the little league, a 9 years old in the social arena

Oh baby gonna be an appeal, cos I'm guilty


Always had it easy my future's in the mail

Every reason to succeed, every chance to fail

Ain't got nothing on nobody, .......

When I found that opportunity, ................. World War II, ........ Vietnam
I spent my life ........ .my pals

And now I'm guilty


Ain't been through the slavery, ain't been through the cotton fields

Through the back of a ....., cos I'm guilty

I've been through the little league, a 9 years old in the social arena

Oh baby gonna be an appeal, cos I'm guilty


You wonder why we fall on top of everyone

You wonder why we're no fun

Cos we're guilty
