this is an excuse
an excuse to accuse
or an excuse to refuse?
this is an excuse
an excuse to conceal
or an excuse to reveal?
this is an excuse
an excuse to steal
or an excuse to wheel & deal?
this is an excuse
an excuse to confuse
or an excuse to earn extra revenue?
this is an excuse
an excuse to open up another avenue
or an excuse to escape to another venue?
this is an excuse
an excuse to kill
or an excuse to climb up the hill?
this is an excuse
an excuse to appeal
or an excuse to renew?
excuse, excuse,
more excuses,
there is always an excuse
for every situation new
to avoid or to rescue?
whatever it may be, it's truly sinful abuse!
