Dear Mr. President Lyrics by Fitz and The Tantrums

Pickin’ Up the Pieces

2010

[Intro]
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
[Verse 1]
A broken man and his wife with a child ain't got no hope
Outta luck, outta time
Old man, winter's comin' on
[Pre-Chorus]
One meal ain't enough for three
Is this the way it's supposed to be?
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family
[Chorus]
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round (Hey)
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
[Verse 2]
Get in line, there's no jobs and the kids are shootin' dope
Outta work, outta time, mama's startin' to lose hope, hope
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain't enough to pray, when you got no place to stay
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family
[Chorus]
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no
(Hey, woo)
(Hey)
(Hey, woo)
(Hey)
[Bridge]
(Hey) Dear Mr. President, (woo), there is trouble on the streets
(Hey) Now is the time, and the test we must meet
(Hey) Dear Mr. President, (woo), take a look around
Please, Mr. President, put your foot down
(No, no, no)
[Outro]
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
