UNIT VII: LISTEN & SPEAK


  Song: Ben Harper Excuse Me Sir”:


Oh- Excuse me Mr.
Do you have the time
Or are you so important
That it stands still for you?


Excuse me Mr.
I want you to 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 mister too.
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you


And I'm enough 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
That puts the rest of us to shame


And I've seen enough
Oh- I’ve seen enough
I’ve seen much to know
That I've 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.
Just take a look around
Oh, Mr. just look up
And you will see it's comin' down


Oh, excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister 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
That puts the rest of us to shame


And I've seen enough
I've seen enough
I've seen enough
I've seen much
Oh, I’ve seen much
To know
That I've seen too much


‘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 want to know, Mr.
Is what you gave


So excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister 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
Mr. like you,
Puts the rest of us to shame
Oh
Shame.
