Dear Mr. President

Come take a walk with me (take a walk with me)

Let's pretend we're just two people and

You're not better than me

I'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

What 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 (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 (we're not blind)

They're all sitting in your cells

While you pay 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 

Nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

That I sometimes cry

If I could pretend that I'm asleep

When my tears start to fall

I peek out from behind these walls

I think nobody knows

Nobody knows no

Nobody likes

Nobody likes to lose their inner voice

The one I used to hear before my life

Made a choice

But I think nobody knows

No no

Nobody knows

No

Baby

Oh the secret's safe with me

There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be

And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone

Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown

And I've lost my way back home

I think nobody knows no

I said nobody knows

Nobody cares

It's win or lose not how you play the game

And the road to darkness has a way

Of always knowing my name

But I think nobody knows

No no

Nobody knows no no no no

Baby

Oh the secret's safe with me

There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be

And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone

Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown

And I've lost my way back home

And oh no no no no

Nobody knows

No no no no no no

Tomorrow I'll be there my friend

I'll wake up and start all over again

When everybody else is gone

No no no

Nobody knows

Nobody knows the rhythem of my heart

The way I do when I'm lying in the dark

And the world is asleep

I think nobody knows

Nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

Me 

One night to you

Lasted six weeks for me

Just a bitter little pill now

Just to try to go to sleep

No more waking up to innocence

Say hello to hesitance

To everyone I meet

Thanks to you years ago

I guess I'll never know

What love means to me but oh

I'll keep on rolling down this road

But I've got a bad, bad feeling

CHORUS

It's gonna take a long time to love

It's gonna take a lot to hold on

It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah

Left in the pieces that you broke me into

Torn apart but now I've got to

Keep on rolling like a stone

Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Left my childhood behind

In a roll away bed

Everything was so damn simple

Now I'm losing my head

Trying to cover up the damage

And pat out all the bruises

Too young to know I had it

So it didn't hurt to lose it

Didn't hurt to lose it

No but oh

I'll keep on rolling down this road

But I've got a bad, bad feeling

CHORUS

It's gonna take a long time to love

It's gonna take a lot to hold on

It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah

Left in the pieces that you broke me into

Torn apart but now I've got to

Keep on rolling like a stone

Cause it's gonna be a long long way

Now I'm numb as hell and I can't feel a thing

But don't worry about regret or guilt cause I never knew your name

I just want to thank you

Thank you

From the bottom of my heart

For all the sleepless nights

And for tearing me apart yeah yeah

CHORUS

It's gonna take a long time to love

It's gonna take a lot to hold on

It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah

Left in the pieces that you broke me into

Torn apart but now I've got to

Keep on rolling like a stone

Cause it's gonna be a long long way

It's gonna take a long time to love

It's gonna take a lot to hold on

It's gonna be a long, long, long, long way to happy, yeah

Left in the pieces that you broke me into

Torn apart but now I've got to

Keep on rolling like a stone

Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy 

You took my hand

You showed me how

You promised me you'd be around

ah huh that's right

I took your words

And I believed

In everything you said to me

yeah huh that's right

CHORUS 1

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Coz they're all wrong

I know better

Coz you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

oh no no no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you a friend

I'd give anything

CHORUS 2

When someone said count your blessings now

'Fore they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

I was all wrong

But they knew better

Still you said forever

And ever

Who Knew

Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

Until we until we meet again

And I won't forget you my friend

What happened

CHORUS 3

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Coz they're all wrong and

That last kiss I'll cherish

Until we meet again

And time makes it harder

I wish I could remember

But I keep you memory

You visit me in my sleep

My darlin' who knew

My darlin' my darlin' who knew

My darlin' I miss you

My darlin' who knew

Who knew 

[490x352]

[600x400]

[348x280]

[344x385]

[350x425]

I've never written a love song

That didn't end in tears

Maybe you'll rewrite my love song

If you can replace my fears

I need your patience and guidence

And all your lovin' and more

When thunder rolls through my life

will you be able to weather the storm?

There's so much I would give ya,baby

If I'd only let myself

There's this well of emotions

I feel I must protect

But what's the point of this armor

If it keeps the love away,too?

I'd rather bleed with cuts of love

Than live with out any scars

Baby,can I trust this?

Or do all things end?

I need to hear that you'd die for me

Again and again and again

So tell me when you look in my eyes

Can you share all the pain and happy times

'Cause I will love you for the rest of my life

This is my very first love song

That didn't end in tears

I think we re-wrote my love song

For the rest of my years

I will love you for the rest of my life

We go where we like
We got over time
We get paid to rattle our chains

We go in the back
Paint our money black
Spend it on the enemy

Sleeping in the church
Riding in the dirt
Put a banner over my grave

Make a body work
Make a begger hurt
Sell me something big and untamed

CHORUS
Now our time
(doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
Real good time
(doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
Now our time

Real good time

A real good time
(ITS A REALLY GOOD TIME!)

eh(x9), me oh my

We know how to pray
Party everyday
Make our desillation unsafe

Riding in a rut
Til' the powers cut
We dont even have a good name

Sleeping in the church
Riding in the dirt
Put a banner over my grave

Make a body work
Make a begger hurt
Sell me something big and untamed

Now our time
(doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
Real good time
(doo doo doo doo doo doo...)

Feel good

eh(x9), me oh my

I hide my pain like the rest of them

That's why I'm always laughin

I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too

That's why I'm so funny

I swallow down all my fears

With a bottle made of silver

I've only been here for 27 years

But already my life is over

[Chorus]

And I need to unwind, yes, and I

I need to unwind, yes, and I

Want all the time

to be loved, to unwind

My life is like a fairytale

That nobody believes in

I can't remember anything

Not the people, not the places I've been

Just one more day you can make it, babe

!That's what I tell myself

And everything that I love in life

It is killing me, Cause it's bad for my health

[Chorus]

Somebody comfort me

S... Southern comfort me

[Chorus]

Verse 1:

Here we go, don't ya know

We're the ones that keep it wicked

Rock n' Roll, all good, mix it up

That's my ticket

Cruisin in my Cadillac Escalade trickin'

Sometimes like it easy, sometimes like it rugged

Keep control, don't ya know

Hit the floor, run for cover

Yeah, flew around the world about fifty times over

From New York to LA to the white cliffs of Dover

The road can be my enemy, the road can be my lover

Watch how we do this yeah

We don't wanna go home

Yeah watch how we do this yeah

No, no no we don't wanna go home

Chorus:

From the humble neighborhoods, we're takin' over the dance floor

We don't wanna go home

From the humble neighborhoods, we're gettin out of control

We're bad people and we do bad things

Verse 2:

Here we go, hit the road

We're the ones that make it crazy

Mix it up try luck

This ain't time to get lazy

Meetin' at 11 in the hotel lobby

Same faces, different places

Never knowin' where we going now

Someday I'm die but it won't be from boredom

If you've got the skills then I suggest that you throw down

Meet us at the spot 'cause it's gonna be a showdown

Naw, you can't ride the bus

Man you better cool down

Watch how we do this yeah

Yeah watch how we do this yeah

We don't wanna go home

From the humble neighborhoods, we're takin' over the dance floor

We're bad people and we do bad things

oh we don't wanna go

1, 2, 3, 4!

You follow every line,

You wear perfect patch and style

You're like a satellite you're driftin' throught the sky

You can't make up you mind about this or that,

or anything at all

So you go with the flow and hope to God that no one knows it

Everything you are, everything you say

Everything you do is not for you

Everything you feel, Everything you know

Found it on your favorite TV show

And it's people like you that make me sick

I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look

You're telling everyone

How different you really are

But it's been said before,

So maybe you're not special after all

If you put the same amount of effort into letting go

Just act yourself and you might like it, you never know

'Cause is everything you want,

Everything you do

You try so hard to be everyone but you

Everywhere you turn,

You just gotta learn

It's easier if you don't try so hard

And it's people like you that make me sick

I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look

Is there somewhere I can go to get away

Where there's truth and people mean just what they say

You try too hard

You just try too hard

You try too hard

And it's people like us that make me sick

I'm surrounded by it everywhere I look

Is there somewhere we can go to get away

Where there's truth and people mean just what they say

You try too hard

You just try too hard

She's back on drugs again

Even though she knows it ain't right

She can't even call up her friends

and say "help me save my life"

She's so ashamed of herself that she's

Come full circle

Nobody understands what it's like to

Be this girl

So she disappeared, and she

Wasn't clear, and she

Didn't say where she was going

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, can you hear me

Save my life, won't you help me

She had the man of her dreams

And some success

And she was so happy, and looking well

It was this one dark night, that she

Slipped

And then the next morning that she

Felt like a piece of shit

So she's hanging out, and she's

With the crowd, and she's

Travelin' where the wind is blowing

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, can you hear me

Save my life, won't you help me

And he's a real good guy and he

Wants to save her 'cause he's

More than been there all before

And she's so confused and his heart

Is breaking and he

Dreams she's knockin' on his door

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, can you hear me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, won't you help me

Save my life, can you hear me

Save my life, won't you help me

(Verse 1)

She looks to the sun

Help her to carry on

Breaking down all the years

Wondering how she got here

She drifts through the sky

Counting the reasons why

How my life turned so fast

Remembering all of the past

(B- Section)

All the changes and all the mistakes

Foolishly laughing at things that

Words that she says

(Verse 2)

She looks to the stars

Breaking, time to follow the heart

Her world is falling apart

(B- Section)

And the turning of every new page

A book on a shelf that is there to remain

Breaking the walls as shes tearing them down

As she is starting to drown

(Chorus)

Shes waiting for love

Shes waiting, waiting for love

she's waiting, waiting for love

Shes waiting, waiting to love

(Verse 3)

She prays to the Gods

Telling how she needs someone

Help me find where I am today

Life is looking very grey

(B- Section)

All the changes, all the mistakes

Foolishly laughing at things that

Everything that she says

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Im waiting for a new day to rise

Conversations to make sense to me and my mind

I need someone to lift me right off my feet

And I want it, and  need it, and Ill leave it all behind

And all the changes Ive made

And I remember the words, that youll never say

(Chorus)

She looks to the sun

How many times have you sat across from me
And how many times have you told me you were leaving (ohhhh)
I'm not trying to listen
'Cause it's all the same
And Why (why)
Why are you constantly believing that I
I could ever give you what you're needing (Ohhhh)
Baby baby please don't put your faith in me
I Don't know what to say
'Cause it's all a dream to me anyway

You can catch me while I'm sleeping darling
While I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby
It must get lonely for you too

And people always falling; in and out of love
And it can be pretty painful too
And maybe ohhh maybe I'm just not strong enough
Sad but true
So tell me what's the use? (Ohhh)

You can catch me while I'm sleeping darling  (Ohhh)
Maybe while I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby (Ohhh)
It must get lonely for you too

(Catch Me When)
So catch me While I'm sleeping
(I'm in my dreams)
(Catch me when I fall asleep)
When I'm dreaming too
(Catch me when I fall asleep)
So catch me while I'm sleeping Ohhh Yeahhh Ohhh
Catch me while I'm sleepin' on
Maybe while I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby (Ohhh)
It must get lonely for you too

So catch me while I'm sleeping Ohhh
Maybe While I'm Dreaming too Ohhh
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby (Ohhh)
It must get lonely for you too

Dadada dadada
Dadada dadada
(Catch Me While I'm falling)
Dadada dadada
Dadada dadada

Put me on the table

Make me say your name

If I can't remember

Then give me all your pain

I can sit and listen

Or I can make you scream

Kiss it and make it better

Just put your trust in me

[Chorus]

Oh my God, go a little slower

Oh my God, what was that again

La da da, let me feel you baby

Let me in, 'cause I understand

Let me feel you baby

'Cause I understand

[Rap]

I understand all

Now climb my sugar walls

Problem solved it's dissolved

with the solvent known as spit

Lickity lick not so quick it's a

Slick ride make my mink slide

'Cause were all pink inside

This can be really easy

It doesn't have to be hard

Here baby let me show you

I'll have ya, climbing up the walls

You got all the problems

I think that I can solve

Why don't you come in here baby

Why don't we sit and talk

[Chorus x2]

[Rap]

You like the top and the bottom

You make a drop and then caught 'em

And when you rock then you've got 'em

Oh my God 'em oh my God 'em

[Ad libs] 

Chorus
