Dear Mister President Please read this letter I have sent You know it isn't my intent To pay you idle compliment I know you're gentle and you're kind I know you probably don't have time But take a minute and you'll find Exactly what is on my mind You led us bravely through the war But now the country's getting pour So tell me George just what's the score 'Cause I can't take it anymore
There's a new day coming There's a new drummer drumming And the dumb keep humming And the bums keep bumming While the rich man's slumming With his pretty-legged woman
I lost my job, can't pay my bills I'm almost down to my last meal It almost drives a man to steal So can you tell me what's the deal There's pain and suffering everywhere And everyone has their fair share The government don't seem to care I'm telling you, it just ain't fair We're sending aid to foreign lands I guess it's someone's master plan We're sitting here with empty hands While everything's made in Japan
There's a new day coming There's a new drummer drumming And the dumb keep humming And the bums keep bumming While the rich man's slumming With his pretty-legged woman
The younger folks are in neglect The older folks get no respect It's crack and crime and break a neck So tell me George, now what the heck The cities are all in decay The killer aids is on the pray The ozone layers blown away I'm feeling pretty hot today
There's a new day coming There's a new drummer drumming And the dumb keep humming And the bums keep bumming While the rich man's slumming With his pretty-legged woman
