Excuse me, mister, do you have the time?
Are you so important that it stands still for you?
Excuse me, mister, lend me your ear
Are you not only blind, but are you scared to hear?
Excuse me, mister, is that oil in the sea?
Is it pollution in the air, mister, could that be?
Excuse me, mister, I'm a mister, too
And it's misters like you giving me a bad name
Taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you that put the rest of us to shame
Taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you give me a bad name
Giving me a bad name
Excuse me, mister, can't you see the children dying?
You say that you can help them, you're not even trying
Excuse me, mister, take a look around
Mister, just look up and you will see what's coming down
Oh, I'm taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you give me a bad name
Yes, I'm taking the mister right out of your name
Misters like you that put the rest of us to shame
I'm taking the mister out of your name
'Cause misters like you give misters like me a bad name
You're giving me a bad name
Mister, mister, when you rattle in on heaven's gate
Let me tell you, mister, then it's gonna be too late
Oh, mister, mister, when you get there
They don't care how much you saved
They wanna know how much you gave away
Excuse me, mister, I'm a mister, too
You're giving me a bad name, a mister like you, you fool
Taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you that give me a bad name
Taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you give me a bad name
Taking the mister right out of your name
'Cause it's misters like you keep giving me a bad name
Excuse me, mister
Please excuse me, mister
Excuse me, mister, do you have the time?
Are you so important that it stands still for you?
Excuse me, mister, lend me your ear
