Lyrics The Apologist (Live At The Palace / 1999) - R.E.M.

They call me the apologist and now that I'm at peak
You know at first it really hurt, we joke about these things
I've skirted all my differences, but now I'm facing up
I wanted to apologize for everything I was

So, I'm sorry, so sorry
So sorry, so sorry
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Did you understand me right
The people here are good?
They tell me what I should have done
And offer what I could

And I'm good, all is good
All's well, no complaints
But when I feel regret
I get down on my knees and pray

I'm sorry, so sorry
So sorry, so sorry
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for listening, goodbye

Why I can forfeit selfishness
I hope for you that you apply
This peacefulness, this happiness
This peacefulness
Two, three and

I'm sorry, so sorry
So sorry, so sorry
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry (so sorry, so sorry)

I live a simple life
Unfettered by complex sweets
You think this isn't me?
That's so sweet
I'm so sorry

Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for listening, goodbye

Thanks
We're gonna do one more song and then, you know, maybe another one
We can all go and have dinner
I'm starving
Where are we going?

We're going for milk and cookies in school buses
I don't need this for this, I actually did this afternoon for the crew who were really pissed off
But it's kinda a lung buster
