Pink - Dear Mr. President Never really been a Pink fan, but I was impressed with this song...
Here's the lyrics: 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 You can see a live performance here: http://www.crooksandliars.com/ | |

The first half made me puke, but at least the second half made me laugh. Lovely sentiments, but I couldn't find one line that wasn't a cliche. | |

"Who knew" is a title of a song for her album  [Edited 4/23/06 16:15pm] | |

But the actual performance of it is actually quite moving, regardless of how trite the lyrics may be. Didn't you click on that link? | |

Like 99% of Billboard's Hot 100 isn't cliched.  At least she's speaking on something that is relevant. | |

u have come a long way
from whiskey and cocaine 
I think this is the best song on the album. Its not all that as a whole. I tried to like it but it is lackluster. Love ya Pink but nothin really caught my ear. What happened to the catchy hooks while still doing rock on Mizunderstood? Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

You may not know it but there is more to music than Billboard's Hot 100. I haven't checked the link yet 'cos I'm strapped for time. I'll take a look tomorrow. For the record, I like Pink as a performer and a personality but she really needs to find someone to write songs for her because her own material just isn't up to par. | |
