pink-dear Mr.president


이명박 대통령 뿐 아니라 전세계 권력자들에게 꼭 들려주고 싶은 노래.
처음 이 노래 들었을 때 pink의 매력적인 목소리와 가사말이 너무 좋아서 한참을 들었던 기억이 난다.



Dear Mr. President, 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 bomeless on the street?

What 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 you head held high?                                

Can you even look me in the eye, and tell me why?         

 

Dear Mr. President                                                                            

Were you a lonely boy?                                                                        

Are you a lonely boy?                                                                          

How can you say, "no child ist 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 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!  

 

Chorus                                                                                                                 

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!!!!!!!!

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?
