Na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me (come take a walk with me)
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions 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 cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
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 rights 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 high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
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
Would you
Na, na, na, na, na

Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
I've never written a love song
That didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If you can replace my fears
I need your patience and guidence
And all your lovin' and more
When thunder rolls through my life
will you be able to weather the storm?
There's so much I would give ya,baby
If I'd only let myself
There's this well of emotions
I feel I must protect
But what's the point of this armor
If it keeps the love away,too?
I'd rather bleed with cuts of love
Than live with out any scars
Baby,can I trust this?
Or do all things end?
I need to hear that you'd die for me
Again and again and again
So tell me when you look in my eyes
Can you share all the pain and happy times
'Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
This is my very first love song
That didn't end in tears
I think we re-wrote my love song
For the rest of my years
I will love you for the rest of my life
That didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If you can replace my fears
I need your patience and guidence
And all your lovin' and more
When thunder rolls through my life
will you be able to weather the storm?
There's so much I would give ya,baby
If I'd only let myself
There's this well of emotions
I feel I must protect
But what's the point of this armor
If it keeps the love away,too?
I'd rather bleed with cuts of love
Than live with out any scars
Baby,can I trust this?
Or do all things end?
I need to hear that you'd die for me
Again and again and again
So tell me when you look in my eyes
Can you share all the pain and happy times
'Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
This is my very first love song
That didn't end in tears
I think we re-wrote my love song
For the rest of my years
I will love you for the rest of my life
I hide my pain like the rest of them
That's why I'm always laughin
I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too
That's why I'm so funny
I swallow down all my fears
With a bottle made of silver
I've only been here for 27 years
But already my life is over
[Chorus]
And I need to unwind, yes, and I
I need to unwind, yes, and I
Want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
My life is like a fairytale
That nobody believes in
I can't remember anything
Not the people, not the places I've been
Just one more day you can make it, babe
!That's what I tell myself
And everything that I love in life
It is killing me, Cause it's bad for my health
[Chorus]
Somebody comfort me
S... Southern comfort me
[Chorus]
That's why I'm always laughin
I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too
That's why I'm so funny
I swallow down all my fears
With a bottle made of silver
I've only been here for 27 years
But already my life is over
[Chorus]
And I need to unwind, yes, and I
I need to unwind, yes, and I
Want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
My life is like a fairytale
That nobody believes in
I can't remember anything
Not the people, not the places I've been
Just one more day you can make it, babe
!That's what I tell myself
And everything that I love in life
It is killing me, Cause it's bad for my health
[Chorus]
Somebody comfort me
S... Southern comfort me
[Chorus]
