Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Excuse me Mr., do you have the time?
Or are you so important that it stands still for you?
Excuse me Mr., won't you lend me your ears?
Or are you not only blind but do you not hear?
[Verse 2]
Excuse me Mr., but isn't that you're oil in the sea?
And the pollution in the air, Mr., who's could that be?
So excuse me Mr., but I'm a Mr. too
And you're giving Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you
[Verse 3]
So I'm takin' the Mr. from out in front of your name
'Cause it's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
It's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
And I, I've seen enough, I've seen enough to know
That I've seen too much
[Verse 4]
Excuse me Mr. can't you see the children dyin'?
You say that you can help them Mr., you're not even tryin'
Excuse me Mr., just take a look around
Oh Mr., just look up, and you will, you will see it comin' now
[Verse 5]
Lord, excuse me, Mr. but I'm a, I'm a Mr. too
Givin' Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you
[Verse 6]
So I'm takin' the Mr. from out in front of your name
'Cause it's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
It's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
And I have seen enough, I've seen enough to know
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much
[Verse 7]
I've seen enough
I have seen enough to know
That I have seen too much
See, 'cause Mr., when you're rattlin' on Heaven's gate
By then, it's too late, 'cause Mr., when you get there, they
Don't ask, they don't ask what you saved
All they wanna know, Mr. is what you gave
[Verse 8]
So excuse me Mr., but I'm a Mr. too
And you're giving Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you
So I'm takin' the Mr. from out in front of your name
'Cause it's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
It's the Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame
