lyrics

Hey Mister,
its really not my place to put you down.
Hey Mister,
its not in my thealogy.
Hey Mister,
I shouldn’t run your name into the ground
Hey Mister,
but I seem to do it anyway!
Hey Mister
I know that I should seek the God within.
Hey Mister,
but in your eyes She doesn’t seem to play
Hey Mister,
I suppose I ought to listen, not defend
Hey Mister, but I just don’t see the world your way!

All I see are your big cars
and the way my neighborhood has changed
It makes me want to shout you out
and pull my hair like I’m deranged.
I want to bring salvation back
I really want us to evolve.
But I don’t know how to see a thing
but money, opposition and false power.




H.M. I don’t have much patience for this game
HM Your mind is filled with profit, loss and gain
HM I suppose that’s just a bit unfair
HM but I seem to think it anyway!
HM I know I preach diversity
HM But that doesn’t make me want you in this town
HM I’m guilty of some fixed belief
HM I’m a hypocrite most any day!

All I want is a better world
But we’re making it a hell I don’t believe in
You see, I guess I’m part to blame
for my lack of peaceful feelings.
I want to bring salvation back
I really want us to evolve
Before we give ourselves a heart attack
can’t we read the writing on the wall?

HM, even if we don’t agree
HM, I’m tired of this us and them
HM I’m not just another freak
HM and you’re not just another corporation.
See, corporal means we’ve got heart,
and corporal means we take breath
I want to bring some spirit in
and see if we can talk of life, not death!
Can you come outside and smell the green,
can we walk that extra mile and taste our sweat?

HM, will take that risk with me?
HM, I won’t sneer and you won’t scowl.
HM, It’s a crazy bid to set us free
HM, Heeaayyyy, Madam, Sir, Mister, Ms. are you theeeerree?
