Excuse Me

Excuse me I’m not going to pay
For actions taken not by me
And for the words I didn’t say
I never pay a slightest fee
You talk of moral obligation 
Known as responsibility
Stripped-down generalization 
Can work for you, but not for me 
As time goes by, established facts
All of a sudden get revised  
The context changes, and it lacks
The prior truth, cause it tells lies
Most folks are prone to something new
They take the current truth for gold  
Excuse me for the different view
I’m not that young, yet not that old.
