[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]

Tell us all again what you think we should be

What the answers are, what it is we can't see

Tell us all again how to do what you say

How to fall in line, how there's no other way


[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]

But oh-oh, we all know


[Chorus: Chester Bennington]

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same


[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]

Show us all again that our hands are unclean

That we're unprepared, that you have what we need

Show us all again 'cause we cannot be saved

'Cause the end is near, now there's no other way


[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]

And oh-oh, you will know

[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

There's no one else to blame, guilty all the same

[Post-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

Guilty all the same

You're guilty all the same


[Interlude: Rakim]

Yeah, you already know what it is


[Verse 3: Rakim]

Can y'all explain, what kind of land is this

When a man has plans of bein' rich

But the bosses' plans is wealthy?

Dirty money scheme, a clean split, nonsense

It's insane, even corporate hands is filthy

Talk team and take the paper route

All they think about's bank accounts, assets and realty

Anybody's expense, no shame with a clear conscience

No regrets and guilt-free

They claim that ain't the way that they built me

Smokescreen before the flame

Knowin' soon as the dough or the deal peak

Say it's time for things to change

Rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap

Anything if it's more to gain

Drained, manipulated like artists, it's real deep

Until no more remains, but I'm still me

Like authentic hip-hop and rock 'til pop and radio

And record companies killed me

Try to force me to stray and obey

And got the gall to say, "Yo, how real can real be?"

You feel me? We'll see

That green could be to blame, greedy for the fame

TV or a name, media, the game

To me, you're all the same, you're guilty

[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same, too sick to be ashamed

You want to point your finger, but there's no one else to blame

There's no one else to blame, guilty all the same

[Post-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

Guilty all the same

Guilty all the same
