Ah, excuse me Mr - Do you have the time      [Verse]

Or are you so important - That it stands still Dm F

Excuse me Mr - Won't you lend me your ears     C  Dm

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

Who's could that be

                                            [Chorus]

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

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

So I'm taking the Mr from             ╔════════════╗

Out in front of your name             ║ Ben Harper ║

((Cause/…) it's the Mr like you       ║   Excuse   ║

 (That puts) the rest of us to shame x2)  Me Mr.   ║

                                      ╚════════════╝

And I, I, I, I, I - 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 help them Mr

You're not even trying

Excuse me Mr - Just take a look around

Oh Mr, just look up and you will            [Chorus]

You will see it coming now        (Who puts/Putting)


And I, I've seen enough  - I've seen 'n I've seen 'n

I've seen enough to know - That I have seen too much

I've seen enough    - I have seen enough

To know that I have - Seen too much          [Intro]

                                            (Dm F

See cause Mr, when you're rattling, oh, on   Dm Dm

Heaven's gate - … - By then, it is too late      x2)

Cause Mr, when you get there                (Dm F

They don't ask (x2) what you saved           C  Dm

All they wanna know Mr - Is what you gave        x2)


[Chorus] [Outro] (Ahhh, ahhh - Ahhh, ahh x12)
