Verse

(ONE STRUM)

Dear Mr President, 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 if we could, speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see 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?

Chorus

 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

Repeat Intro

Verse 2

Dear Mr president, were you a lonley boy

Were you a lonley boy?

 How can you say, no child is left behind

 we're not dumb, and we're not blind

 They're all sitting in your cells

while you pave the road to hell

What kind of father might take his own daughter right away?

And what kind of father might hates 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

Chorus

 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?

Bridge

 Let me tell you 'bot hard work

 minimum wage with a baby on the way

 Let me tell you 'bot hard work

 Re-building 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!

How do you sleep at night?

(hold)Am/B(hold)(hold) c (hold)

Dear Mr president you'd never take a walk with me
