Excuse me for living Don't mind if I do I hope all is forgiven You know I'd do the same for you CHORUS: But if it's true what they say Someone must pay I'll bear my share of pain but I won't take all the blame If it's all the same to you I used to like to choose my poison But now I wouldn't dare Make a choice between the water And whatever's in the air. Chorus I'd like to buy the world an aspirin And slip it in their coke If it'd do any good I'd tell the world a joke Chorus BRIDGE: Well now they tearing down the wall Saving every brick Just in case they wanna build a new one Hit me with a stick But If I had my pick I guess I'd wanna take the blue one Jesus Jesus Won't you tell me how to do it You know I wouldn't trust the world Half as far as you threw it Chorus
