Det är nu ett tag sen… men Kristin fick mig att lyssna på den här låten… och jag bara rös… och texten är så bra…

Vet inte riktigt varför jag kom att tänka på den helt plötsligt… men den är bara så himla bra… har ni inte hört den förut så lyssna…

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
