Lyrics: Dear Mr President

Lalala
Lalala lala

Dear Mr President come take a walk with me
(come take a walk with me)
Lets pretend we’re just two people and you’re not better than me
I’d like to ask you some questions and if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us is cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held up high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Lalalala
Lalalalala

Dear Mr President were you a lonely boy
(Were you a lonely boy)
Were you a lonely boy
(Were you a lonely boy)
How can you say no child is left behind
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind
(We’re not blind)
They’re all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter’s right away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You’ve come a long way
From whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held up high
Can you even look me in the eye


Let me tell you about hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you about hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took it away
Let me tell you about hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you about hard work
Hard work hard work
You don’t know nothing bout hard work
Hard work hard work

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high

Dear Mr President you’d never take a walk with me
