1
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
2
But I was born to privilege just like every white everybody else
3
And now I am beginning to see that old argument's not so convincing
4
But hey hey no way, you know it wasn't me
5
Because the system is set up so the system can take all the blame
6
Then you and I can breath deeply and feel a little less ashamed
7
Because the system took their land, it took their lives, yeah it took their pride
8
But hey hey no way, you know it wasn't me
9
[Chorus]
10
Who we gonna blame for our mistakes
11
Tell me who we gonna blame for our mistakes
12
Yeah who we gonna blame for our mistakes
13
So we don't have to pay
14
I am heiress to the burden of manifest destiny
15
Because everything that I have was stolen from somebody else just for me
16
If we could just stomach the truth then maybe the truth would set us free
17
But hey hey no way, you know it wasn't me
18
[Chorus]
19
I mean no disrespect to the people who like pawns secured the empire's land
20
But how can we look at cause and effect and still not understand
21
Let's get out of the business of pointing our fingers and throwing up our hands
22
Yeah way, yeah way you know it was me
