Dear Mr. President It's A Long Way From Washington , D.c. I Live In The Suburbs Workin' For Wages Had Me A Job Till The Company Moved Out Can't Draw Unemployment And They Forgot About Me My Kids Are Hungry For Some Unknown Reason I Go Out Every Day Looking For Suitable Employment I've Got Four Mouths To Feed Do You Think There's Something You Could Do For Me Cause I'm Down And Out Here In Paradise Down And Out And I'm On My Knees I'm 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 So I Became A Secretary Got A Little Bit Too Old Married A Man In Las Vegas, Nevada And Ten Years Later Some Said I Was Pretty He Ran Out On The Kids And Me But Those Days Are Over Now I've No Place To Live And I'm Out On The Streets Oh, Mr. President Can I Tell You A Secret Cause I'm I Never Ever Thought That This Could Happen To Me Chorus Dear Mr. President I'm Just A Young Kid I'm In The Fourth Grade My Mom And Dad's Been Actin' Funny My Daddy's Always Drunk At Riley Elementary If It's Got Something To Do With Me I'm Not Sure What My Mom's A Babysitter And I Don't Like The Russians Cause I Hear They Hate Me Dear Mr. President Can I Ask You One Question Will They Hurt Everyone In My Family When The Bombs Fall Down Yeah, Yeah Chorus
