Dear Mr. President...
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 02:53 PM by auntAgonist
Dear Mr. President (Pink, B. Mann)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
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 whn 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 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?
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 daugheter 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.
Hmmmm, would you?

The song is found on Pink's new album "I'm Not Dead". If you'd like to hear the song, and see a slideshow-type video tribute to the song, you can go to

5. hey my friend!!!
I've been thinking about you and wondering how YOU are doing. :) I'm getting SO much better these last few days. (see my post in the W/L group)

I went to Ontario to see my new grandbaby :). While I was there I went to see our friend Harvey!!!!

goodness it's getting expensive there for a cheese burger, but OH SO WORTH IT. Couldn't eat all of it, but it satiated my appetite. I even ordered some poutine, couldn't get through it all though. Such a waste. I took it home to my sister's place and the kids warmed it up and ate it all :)

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

6. Oooh, you went back!!
So your son's back in Ontario? How are they all doing? Has he found a good job?

Please post pics!! I'd love to see more!! :bounce:


You lucky dawg! I haven't visited Harvey in months. The wheat bothers me...so I try to stay away. Once in awhile, however, I cave in...:9 I remember not having access to Harvey's when I lived in other parts of the province, and whenever I came back to Edmonton, lived there.

I haven't ever tried the poutine...but normally, I can't get through a burger and fries in one sitting, either. Too much for me.

Alas, I rarely eat fast food anymore...

I'll head on over to the other group and converse some more. I'm so glad you're feeling better!!! :loveya: :hug:
