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 adore this song simply for the fact that it is so honest and politicaly controversial.

However, If I see one more person post a cheerleading smiley on a pink discussion board I think I may kill myself. Does the song stupid girls mean nothing to you people?

I know... such a great song!!
I love the part when she says "How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye"
It is so true, and I think it's not just about the US president its abou all the dictators in the world... And they are plenty!!

This song made me cry where it says "How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?" This reminds me off my dad because his in the Military and he could die anytime. Hope everyone thinks about how we can make a difference!

This is one of the best songs by Pink , specially her voice , I commented somewhere else that besides vocal abilities , she has something that very few artist have... feeling.. you can feel through her voice what she is trying to say, and I think she really meant this song as something to keep in mind , with the actual situation and all the abuse of power today , anyway I really hope this changes , and this is a beautiful way of expressing so

Pink has hit the nail on the head with this song and a few of her others too.. Glad someone outthere has the balls to write about such controversial things.. I'm just glad it's PINK!!

Pink rocks .. I love all her albums they are just the best..

[b] I am a Army wife and this song touches me to the very core, Seeming I have asked most of these questions myself, I want to know how he can sleep at night with the decisions he makes. I want to know What He see when he looks in the mirror , how can He say the things he does and then Does nothing about whats going on ???? Maybe If this song gets more airplay WE might get ours answers, Its politcally Charged and I love it, I have always been a fan of pink. I think it was time for someone to ask him the questions thats on everyone minds.,


thank you pink! for a song that asks Why?how?

Even though I do like the head executives of the government, I love Pink's "peacefulness" in her lyrics of this song. Its not a song where she is showing hate for them, but she is showing how disturbed she is by the few controversial things in today's politics. She has amazing vocals and I adore her style!

I love this song, it is my favourite one on this album! I like the part where she sings: And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?

- this makes me think how my dad would react to me if he found out i was bi, my mum,brother and sister all know...my mum seems to accept that people of the same sex fall in love with eachother the same as others, you can't help who you fall in love with...it just happens.My brother is the one who's been more acceptable with it.My sister asked me questions about some girls but she didn't really wanna know the answer so i didn't really tell her.None of the rest of my family know.I've never had a girlfriend but if i was single i'd definately have one if there was a girl i liked in that way and she liked me.

But i love all of the song it's amazing!
