Everybody wants an apology
Me from you and you from me
The accursed from the blessed
The Great Northeast from the Old Southwest
Everybody wants an apology

Everybody wants an apology
CBS from the MTV
But it always takes too long
And it always comes out all wrong
Well, I don't even want your apology

Someday soon the Vatican is gonna call
One day even the warden's going over the wall
The shoulder from the road
The Cancer from the Scorpio
Someday soon the Vatican is gonna call

How can I swallow every little thing she says?
She don't even, she don't even know Elvis from El Vez
If the king was here today
You know he'd make that sucker pay
She don't even know Elvis from El Vez

Everybody wants an apology
Me from you, me from you and you from me
Tell me what good would it do
If I got down on my knees just for you
Everybody wants an apology
