Oh, 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 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 putting the rest of us to shame
I've seen enough - oh, I have seen enough
I've seen enough to know that 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
Mr. just look up and you will see what's coming down
Excuse me Mr. - but I'm a Mr. too
And you're givin' 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
And I have seen enough - I've seen that I've seen it
And I've seen enough to know that I have seen too much
I've seen enough - oh, I have seen enough
To know that I have seen too much
Cause 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 what you saved
All they'll want to know, Mr. is what you gave
So excuse me Mr. - but I'm a Mr. 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 puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you putting the rest of us...
