I got white liberal guilt
I can't help it folks, that's the way I'm built I got idealist blues that brings me down each time I watch the news I know it's dumb but what can I say I was just brought up this way so spare a thought for the burden of guilt that I carry around I can't take sugar in tea and I only drink Fair Trade coffee Gee whiz, hey, look at me My shit don't stink, would you believe? But I can't escape the sneaking thought that coffee is still a bad export for the workers who might well define "fair trade" differently [whistle solo] I feel ambivalent about my high ideals and my guilty bent I'm just doing my best so maybe I should give this shame a rest But I even feel a guilty spot for the guy that I ripped this tune off Now here comes the final clue: My mum was Catholic that might explain it |
