Dear Mr. President

P!nk's newest album "I'm not Dead" has become semi-popular with singles of her songs "stupid girls", "who knew?" and her most recent single "U & Ur Hand". These three songs are really good songs however the rest of the remaining eleven songs are really well written. Songs about dealing with everything from being hated in your family to the aftermath of being raped. P!nk's first single "stupid girls" got some noticed by the lyrics of the song, how teenage girls and their idols are essentially idiots. This song was really good, however her song "Dear Mr. President" featuring the Indigo Girls is also a song that is noteworthy and one that should be getting noticed more...

Dear Mr. President

Come take a walk with me

Let's pretend we're just two people and

You're not better than meI'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly:

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?

Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?

hat do you feel when you look in the mirror

Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Can you even look me in the eye?

And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President

Were you a lonely boy?

Are you a lonely boy?

Are you a lonely boy?

How can you say

No child is left behind?

We're not dumb and we're not blind

They're all sitting in your cells

While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?

And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say,

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you bout hard work

Minimum wage with a baby on the way

Let me tell you bout hard work,

Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away

Let me tell you bout hard work,

Building a bed out of a cardboard box

Let me tell you bout hard work

Hard work Hard work

You don't know nothing bout hard work

Hard work Hard work

Oh How do you sleep at night?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Dear Mr. President

You'd never take a walk with me

Would you?

I was reading about the album I'm not dead and there were a lot of posts about how awful P!nk was because she was saying these bad things about President George W. Bush! I think this is awful, these people the same people who i am supposing critizied the Dixie Chicks are ignorant people living in a bubble of happiness and ignorance. I really hate it when an artist or any person that matter states a political opinion just to be shut down by somebody else who has no idea what is going on in the world. To support George W. Bush and critize Pink and the Indigo girls for writing this song is awful? Are you kidding me, I think they have every right and should write about these things that are plaguing the world right now... Why would somebody support a man who allows torture to continue in Guantánamo Bay without the supposed/accused terrorists not having a trial? Is this fair?

Honestly, anybody should have express their opinions... why should people who ask imporant questions be critized, for example the Dixie Chicks. Album's burned, death threats made and the band being boycotted because they didn't think the war in Afghanistan was right!

The bottom line: Pink, the Indigo Girls, the Dixie Chicks and everybody should question the authority in charge to find out more, instead of being ignorant.
