| | | Artist: | Mellencamp John Cougar |
| | Album: | The Lonesome Jubilee | | Track: | Down And Out In Paradise | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 152 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 everyday lookin' for suitable employment
Do you think there's
something you could do for me
Cause I'm
CHORUS
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 his could
happen to me
Cause I'm
CHORUS
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 ain't 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
CHORUS
