| Dear mr. president | |
| I live in the suburbs | |
| It愀 a long way from washington, d.c. | |
| Had me a job | |
| Working for wages | |
| And they forgot about me | |
| Can憩 draw unemployment | |
| For some unknown reason | |
| My kids are hungry | |
| I扉e got four mouths to feed | |
| I go out everyday lookin?for siutable | |
| Employment | |
| Do you think, there愀 something | |
| You could do for me | |
| Cause i惴 | |
| Chorus: | |
| Down and out, here in paradise | |
| Down and out, and i惴 on my knees | |
| I惴 down and out, here in paradise | |
| Looks like the milk and honey | |
| Done run out on me | |
| Dear mr. president | |
| I used to be a dancer | |
| Got a little bit too old | |
| So i became a secretary | |
| Married as man | |
| In las vegas, nevada | |
| And ten years later | |
| He run out on the kids and me | |
| Some said, i was pretty | |
| But those days are over | |
| Now, i扉e no place to live | |
| And i惴 out on the streets | |
| Oh, mr. president | |
| Can i tell you a secret | |
| I never ever thought, that this could | |
| Happen to me | |
| Cause i惴 | |
| Chorus: | |
| Down and out, here in paradise, | |
| Down and out, and i惴 on my knees | |
| I惴 down and out, here in paradise | |
| Looks like the milk and honey | |
| Done run out on me | |
| Dear mr. president | |
| I惴 just a young kid | |
| I惴 in the fourth grade | |
| At riley elementary | |
| My mom and dad愀 been actin?funny | |
| I惴 not sure | |
| If it ain憩 got someting to do with me | |
| My daddy愀 always drunk | |
| My mom愀 a babysitter | |
| And i don憩 like the russians | |
| Cause i hear, they hate me | |
| Dear mr. president | |
| Can i ask you one question? | |
| When the bombs fall down | |
| Will they hurt everyone in my family | |
| Yeah, yeah | |
| Chorus: | |
| Down and out, here in paradise | |
| Down and out, and i惴 on my knees | |
