Kerry says to me that I really don't see,
I'm making too much of all of this morality,
This could never offend your Heavenly friend,
I'm not committing crimes against humanity.

Excuse me, forgive me,
I'm certain that you do see,
Excuse me, forgive me,
Not the same thing in my mind,
It's one or the other,
No, they're not together,
They both have got their own place and time,
Oh, excuse me, yeah.

I know some things are wrong,
I've heard you righteous song,
But a lot of these things are only indiscretions,
You gotta play it loose,
I'll be the one to choose,
You can't believe that this would ever change my redemption.

Excuse me, forgive me,
I'm certain that you do see,
Excuse me, forgive me,
Not the same thing in my mind,
It's one or the other,
No, they're not together,
I'll decide which one to use next time.

Kerry, in your heart and mind something's dying every time you...

It's one or the other,
No, they're not together,
Do you really think that you should choose this time, to excuse me or forgive me'
It's one or the other,
No, they're not together, (no, they're not together)
Do you really think that you should choose this time'

Oh, you gotta let it go,
Excuse me,
Forgive me.
