Excuse Me Mister
Excuse me Mr.
Do you have the time
Or are you so important
That it stands still for you
Excuse me Mr.
Lend me your ear
Or are you not only blind
But do you not hear
Excuse me Mr.
Isn't that your oil in the sea
And the pollution in the air Mr.
Whose could that be
Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
And I've seen enough to know
That I've seen too much
Excuse me Mr.
Can't you see the children dying
You say that you can't help them
Mr. you're not even trying
Excuse me Mr.
Take a look around
Mr. just look up
And you will see it's comin' down
Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
And I've seen enough to know
That I've seen too much
So Mr. when you're rattling
On heaven's gate
Let me tell you Mr.
By then it is too late
Cause Mr. when you get there
They don't ask how much you saved
All they'll want to know, Mr.
Is what you gave
Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
Do you have the time
Or are you so important
That it stands still for you
Excuse me Mr.
Lend me your ear
Or are you not only blind
But do you not hear
Excuse me Mr.
Isn't that your oil in the sea
And the pollution in the air Mr.
Whose could that be
Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
And I've seen enough to know
That I've seen too much
Excuse me Mr.
Can't you see the children dying
You say that you can't help them
Mr. you're not even trying
Excuse me Mr.
Take a look around

And you will see it's comin' down
Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
And I've seen enough to know
That I've seen too much
So Mr. when you're rattling
On heaven's gate
Let me tell you Mr.
By then it is too late
Cause Mr. when you get there
They don't ask how much you saved
All they'll want to know, Mr.

Excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
From out in front of your name
Cause it's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
That puts the rest of us to shame
