Okay - I'm not a P!nk fan at all. But I cannot help but appreciate the truth and message in this song. Thoughts? [Yes - I'm aware it's old] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eDJ3cuXKV4 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 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 Dear Mr. President Were you a lonely boy Are you a lonely boy Are you a lonely boy How can you say No child is 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 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?

This is the only song I've liked by her - but I'd imagine she has more with good messages like this one? Recommendations? |

I was thinking that. Overall, it's not a poorly written song, but I do think it kind of rips off the whole Dixie Chicks thing, but it's popular to dislike the unpopular, I guess. x_x |

ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST I'd like to see her do a better job as president, 'let me tell you about hard work?' You're a pop star. Christ. |

One doesn't need talent in a certain field to be able to judge another person's talent in that field. Examples: You don't need to know how to cook to be able to tell if something tastes good. You don't need to be a musician to tell if a band sucks or not. You don't need to be a writer to tell if a book is good, etc. On that note, song is pretty meh worthy. |
