Ben Harper - Excuse Me Mr. (live @ Antena 3)



Como sabeis, não costumo postar musica a não ser que seja diferente: opto pelas versões ao vivo, ou por musicas que acho que são menos main stream. Neste caso, é uma versão ao vivo na Antena 3 do Mr. Ben Harper da Excuse Me Mr :P. Tocada só com uma guitarra, e com a voz bastante intimista e acusadora (acho que é por isso que gosto desta versão... as outras são meio light, mas nesta sente-se um misto de desprezo e pena dos poderosos). Espero que gostem tanto dela como eu. A letra está muito bem conseguida!

Ohhh...
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, who's could that be?

So excuse me Mr, but, I'm a Mr too
And you're giving Mr a bad name, Mr like you
Now im taking the Mr from out infront of your name
Coz 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 I have seen too much

Excuse me Mr can't you see the children dying?
You say that you cant help them Mr your not even trying
Excuse me Mr, wont you take a look around
Oh Mr, just look up and you will, you will see what's coming down

Excuse me Mr but I'm a, I'm a Mr too,
Your giving Mr a bad name, Mr like you
Now I'm taking the Mr from out infront of your name
Coz it's the 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, I've seen enough, I've seen and I've seen and
I've seen enough to know that I have seen too much
I've seen enough, Oh I have seen enough, to know,
I have seen too much

See coz Mr when you're rattling on heavens gate
By then it is too late
Coz Mr when you get there they don't ask what you saved
All they'll wanna know, Mr, is what you gave

So excuse me Mr, but I'm a Mr too,
And you're giving Mr a bad name Mr like... you
The Mr from out infront of you're name
Coz it's the Mr, Mr like you that puts the rest of us to shame
It's the Mr like you putting the rest of us to shame

Esta música faz-me sempre lembrar o 'Masters of War' do Bob Dylan.
