Shannon Murray - Silver Spoon lyrics

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