Song lyrics
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

I admire Pink's courage to write lyrics like this that publicly attack her own country's president. I love how uninhibited she is and how she will say anything that she feels.

Like this has to be one of the best songs (along with Runaway) on the album!

Pink rules.

I love Pink and I love this song ... it takes a lot of courage to sing a song like this ... telling everything like it is and not using metaphors or anything ...
Can't wait to hear this song live tomorrow!

And I have to agree with the person who said that he's going to kill himself if another girl put a post with a cheerleading smiley in a Pink discussion ...
I get the urge to do something like that: ... Not one of Pinks songs goes with a cheerleader peeps ...

This is by far the gayest fucking song i've ever heard. Pink is ridiculously stupid. I have absolutely no respect for any of you people who feel this song is at all meaningful.

To say this song is controversial is perhaps a little too much, unless you mean it's rare with openly political songs within mainstream music. Writing anti-establishment songs has always been common and will continue to be so [which is a good thing because it's part of a free society - and damn fun too ].

However. While I haven't heard the song and therefore can speak nothing about the music, the lyrics are somewhat different from what we usually see. They seem more disappointed than anything else, especially the ending, which I love. Most anti-Bush songs are pissed and it shows in the lyrics, making them stand in the shadow of the music. Like I said I haven't heard the song so I'm not sure, but I can tell you that it's gotta be some music to overshine these lyrics.

Cheerio.

Why can't we speak honestly? The songs message does not only apply to U.S. alone but also in Third World country like mine. i really do wish the message of the song will somehow come to the senses of these world leaders who only think about what they perceive as right and not the factual and actual right. By the way Pink give justice to the song!!!

ok saying this is the "Gayest fucking song" you've ever heard..thats exactly whats wrong with this world, if your a "hardcore" fan of bush and have a problem with pink or this song then say what you feel.. is what allows her to sing a song like this and you can think all these things and still be patriotic and love America. The mothers of our soldiers are entitled to know exactly why their sons and daughters are dying, and this being the "land of the free" entitles women to abortions if they want them, no politician hundreds of miles away can tell her what to do with her body and her child. No Child Left Behind is a joke, I know because I'm subject to it's effects everyday. And Bush has been babied and taken care of his entire life. He was wild growing up and suddenly announced that he was a born again christian right before he announced he would run for govener of texas. If you dont wanna hear these lyrics and their message then don't listen to them... in the meantime grow up and see that theres more important things in this world to be upset about.

Pink shows emotion in her voice when she sings this song... and theres no doubt that what shes saying is true. The best part is towards the end when she says "You don't know nothing about hard work". The president makes decisions he thinks are right... but he's never delt with living on the street or having his home bombed. Thats truely hard work, having to make it in this world filled with unexpectations. He pretty much had it all handed to him, while others suffer to survive. This song has true meaning and Pink should be proud for speaking out for what her, and many other people, believe in. If the song is played more, her message will get across. Great Song Overall... she has the perfect voice for it, filled with true emotions. She should be proud. =)

I LOVE this song - but would someone with actual brains have sung it. Pink is just as bad as Spears and Agrularia. She is a talentless, brainless, plastic popstar. PLEASE people get off the band wagon and realzie she is like everyone else, TALENTLESS!!!

pink has a god voice; thats all tht im giving her
she is a singer and thats all she should be

she doesnt know sh*t about politics, and obviously doesnt know anything about the president

this song is extremely disrespectful to the USA and its leader

no...pink is saying what she feels about what is hapening to our "land of the free"(free!!!hahaha)and she has every right to say what she feels and she has an amazing voice and i also dont think that you know so much about the gov. how do u know more than me, pink or anyone else out there. Its also great how is Questioning him, she not bashing bush like alot of people do, she Questioning him about his actions.She makes some really good points such as what would bush do if his daughter was gay(like me) would he disown her, take away her rights to get married, Or not respect her choice. Maybe you should stop thinking you know everything there is to know about politics and listen to diferent opinions.OPINIONS is exactly what they all are.......everyone has a chance to say there opinions and not be put down...argued with maybe but not put down....i dont agree with you but i can also see what u mean.

honestly i have no political opinions as far as political parties go, but for any man trying to run an entire country..these lyrics seem a little harsh. something makes me highly doubt that he would just sit up in the white house and do nothing at all and just not care.

I think this song is nothing but garbage. These lyrics are ridiculous and untrue and I feel sorry for the people who take it as the truth.

This is an amazing song, it is so true! Finally someone has the guts to speak out for all those people who feel the same way. I wonder what he would say about it, when he was asked to review these lyrics.
