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'm an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themselves, there are no
team mates
This life gets lonely when everybody wants
something
They'll smile up in your face
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
Surrounded by familiar faces without names
None of them know me or want to share my pain
And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade
away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in vain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades
away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
I drank your poison coz you told me its wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours
Eventually
