Excuse Me Mr. Songtext
von Ben Harper

Ah, excuse me mister
Do you have the time?
Or are you so important
That it stands still for you?

Excuse me mister won′t you lend me your ear?
Or are you not only blind
But do you not hear?

Excuse me mister
But isn't that your oil in the sea?
And the pollution in the air mister
Whose could that be?

So excuse me mister
But I, I′m a mister too
And you're givin' mister a bad name
Mister like you


So I′m taking the mister
From out in front of your name
′Cause it's a mister like you that
Puts the rest of us to shame
It′s a mister like you
Putting the rest of us to shame

And I, I, I, I, I, I have seen enough
I have seen enough to know
That I have seen too much

Excuse me mister
Can't you see the children dying?
You say that you can′t help them
Mister you're not even trying

Excuse me mister
Just take a look around
Oh, mister just look up and you will
You will see it comin′ down

Lord, excuse me mister
But I'm a, I'm a mister too
Givin′ mister a bad name
Mister like you


So I′m taking the mister from
Out in front of your name
'Cause it′s a mister like you
Who puts the rest of us to shame
It's a mister like you
Puttin′ the rest of us to shame

And I have seen enough
I have seen it, I have seen it
I have seen enough to know
That I have seen too much

I have seen enough
I have seen enough to know
That I have seen too much

See 'cause mister when you′re rattling
On Heaven's gate
By then it is too late

'Cause mister when you get there
They don′t ask, they don′t ask what you saved
All they'll want to know, mister
Is what you gave

So, excuse me mister
But I′m a mister too
And you're givin′ mister a bad name
Mister like you

So I'm taking the mister from
Out in front of your name
′Cause it's a missed mister like you
Puts the rest of us to shame
It's a mister like you
Putting the rest of us to shame
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh...
