Down And Out In Paradise |
Dear Mr. President |
I live in the suburbs |
It’s a long way from Washington, D. C |
Had me a job |
Workin' for wages |
Till the company moved out |
And they forgot about me |
Can’t draw unemployment |
For some unknown reason |
My kids are hungry |
I’ve got four mouths to feed |
I go out every day looking for suitable employment |
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 |
Got a little bit too old |
So I became a secretary |
Married a man |
In Las Vegas, Nevada |
And ten years later |
He ran out on the kids and me |
Some said I was pretty |
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 |
I never ever thought that this could happen to 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’m just a young kid |
I’m in the fourth grade |
At Riley Elementary |
My mom and dad’s been actin' funny |
I’m not sure what |
If it’s got something to do with me |
My daddy’s always drunk |
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 |
When the bombs fall down |
Will they hurt everyone in my family |
Yeah, yeah |
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 |
