FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS
"Dear Mr. President"
(Michael Fitzpatrick / Chris Seefried)

[Intro:]
Hey, woo
Hey, woo

A broken man and his wife with a child ain't got no hope
Outta luck, outta time
Old man, winter's comin' on

[Pre-Chorus:]
One meal ain't enough for three
Is this the way it's supposed to be?
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family

[Chorus:]
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round (Hey)
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hey, woo
Hey, woo

Get in line, there's no jobs and the kids are shootin' dope
Outta work, outta time, mama's startin' to lose hope, hope

[Pre-Chorus:]
It ain't enough to pray, when you got no place to stay
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family

[Chorus:]
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no

(Hey, woo)
(Hey)
(Hey, woo)
(Hey)

[Bridge:]
(Hey) Dear Mr. President, (woo), there is trouble on the streets
(Hey) Now is the time, and the test we must meet
(Hey) Dear Mr. President, (woo), take a look around
Please, Mr. President, put your foot down
(No, no, no)

[Outro:]
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
