Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Excuse Me Mr.

Performed by Ben Harper

Ohhh...

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 ear?

Or are you not only blind but do you not hear?

Excuse me Mr. but isn't that your oil in the sea?

And the pollution in the air, Mr., whose could that be?

So excuse me Mr., but, I'm a Mr. too

And you're giving Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you

Now 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 putting the rest of us to shame

I've seen enough, Oh I have seen enough

I've seen enough to know I have 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., won't you take a look around

Oh Mr., just look up and you will, you will see what's coming down

Excuse me Mr. but I'm a, I'm a Mr. too,

You're giving Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you

Now I'm taking 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 a Mr. like you putting the rest of us to shame

And I have, I've seen enough, I've seen and I've seen and

I've seen enough to know that I have seen too much

I've seen enough, Oh I have seen enough, to know,

I have seen too much

See, 'cause Mr., when you're rattling on heaven's gate

By then it is too late

'Cause Mr., when you get there they don't ask what you saved

All they'll wanna know, Mr., is what you gave

So excuse me Mr., but I'm a Mr. too,

And you're giving Mr. a bad name Mr. like... you

The Mr. from out in front of your name

'Cause it's the Mr., Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame

It's the Mr. like you putting the rest of us to shame

(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)

(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)

Lord it's a shame, oh it's a shame, shame, shame, shame...

Ohhh, ohhh, ahh
