Ben Folds Five - Guilty lyrics

rate me

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 bus oh, cos I'm guilty

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

Through the back of a bus oh, cos I'm ooh 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 beat beat beat em, cos I'm guilty

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

Oh baby gonna beat beat beat em, 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, no no no no no no no

If I found that opportunity, I lost my soul

Grandpa saw World War II, old man saw Vietnam

I spent my allowance just to see Mauthausen

And now I'm guilty

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

Oh baby gonna beat beat beat em, well I'm guilty

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

Through the back of a bus oh, cos I'm guilty

You wonder why we fall on top of everyone

You wonder why we're no fun

Cos we're guilty
