Pink – Dear Mr. President Lyrics<\/h2>\n

<\/b> <\/p>\n

(feat. Indigo Girls)<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Mr. President<\/span>
Come take a walk with me<\/span>
Let’s pretend we’re just two people and<\/span>
You’re not better than me<\/span>
I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street<\/span>
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep<\/span>
What do you feel when you look in the mirror<\/span>
Are you proud<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry<\/span>
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye<\/span>
How do you walk with your head held high<\/span>
Can you even look me in the eye<\/span>
And tell me why<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Mr. President<\/span>
Were you a lonely boy<\/span>
Are you a lonely boy<\/span>
Are you a lonely boy<\/span>
How can you say<\/span>
No child is left behind<\/span>
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind<\/span>
They’re all sitting in your cells<\/span>
While you pay the road to hell<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of father would take his own daughter’s rights away<\/span>
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay<\/span>
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say<\/span>
You’ve come a long way from whiskey and cocaine<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Let me tell you bout hard work<\/span>
Minimum wage with a baby on the way<\/span>
Let me tell you bout hard work<\/span>
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away<\/span>
Let me tell you bout hard work<\/span>
Building a bed out of a cardboard box<\/span>
Let me tell you bout hard work<\/span>
Hard work<\/span>
Hard work<\/span>
You don’t know nothing bout hard work<\/span>
Hard work<\/span>
Hard work<\/span>
Oh<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you sleep at night<\/span>
How do you walk with your head held high<\/span>
Dear Mr. President<\/span>
You’d never take a walk with me<\/span>
Would you <\/span><\/p>\n

Wie maakt de versie voor Balkenende…<\/p>\n
