VERSE:
as a ship needs an anchor
a business a banker
a student instruction
a species needs eternal reproduction
(before it goes extinct)
CHORUS:
the universal excuse
it’ll come out soon
VERSE:
a beggar needs a buck or two
to make it through the day
the good old fashioned way
“the universal excuse”
(it’ll surface soon)
(excusing all your sins)
(the universal excuse)
(comes in man forms)
(i beg your pardon)
(y’all better be ready)
(it’ll come out soon)
truly inexcusable
“you may be excused”
rationalizing my past misdeeds
who knows when we’re gonna begin again?
