[Chorus] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought this was America I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought this was America Hands up in the hallway, officers in a line A joke turns into panic when the rules redraw the sign [Verse] Green uniforms and badges, blank faces in the frame A classroom-colored doorway, everybody looks the same One man stands half-dressed, frozen under the glare While the whole room asks the question hanging in the air [Chorus] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought this was America I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought this was America Hands up in the hallway, officers in a line A joke turns into panic when the rules redraw the sign [Outro] I thought this was America (I'm sorry) I thought this was America
