I'm so hungry, haven't eaten for days now
I can't focus, I tend to s***e out
The p*** shop's got my CD player
And I pay a bill or two that way
The landlord is about to evict me
So I creep through to hallway quickly
I leave the mail in a pile on the floor
In case the b****** beats though the door
The situation's getting worse by the hour
I wrestle roaches the size of rats in the shower
But
Don't cry Mr. President
I won't lie, the danger's evident
And not fine, except for some tenets
Go back to sleep now!
Don't cry Mr. President
I won't lie, the danger's evident
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
Just count your sheep now,
Go back to sleep now!
Me Mom has started to fear all strangers
The neighborhood, she says, is getting too dangerous
She's too afraid to even go to the store
She says there's junkies outside the door
And she's convinced that they're all out to get her
She's too afraid to even open up her letters
So if you can look into this ASAP
I know your a busy man, but please help me
The situation's getting worse by the minute
I'm eating rock-hard bread with rat droppings in it
But
Don't cry Mr. President
I won't lie, the danger's evident
And not fine, except for some tenets
Go back to sleep now!
Don't cry Mr. President
I won't lie, the danger's evident
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
Just count your sheep now,
Go back to sleep now!
And when we go to clubs we don't allways get in
'Cause according to the bouncer we don't fit in
So we're stuck on park benches sittin',
drinkin' as the temperature just keeps sinkin'
The social worker hands me a folder
But were not going although were growing colder
frustrated with the bottle'o'gin in the hand
Yes you can already get in to imagine man that
The situation's getting worse every second
I'm lucky to reach middle age now I reckon
But (3x)
Don't cry Mr. President
I won't lie, the danger's evident
And not fine, except for some tenets
Go back to sleep now!
