Dear Mr. President
P!nk Lyrics

Dear Mr. President
P!nk addresses the President of the United States with this song.

Come take a walk with me
P!nk invites the President to join her for a conversation.

Let's pretend we're just two people and
P!nk suggests setting aside their differences and status to have an honest discussion.

You're not better than me
P!nk acknowledges the President's position of power, but also asserts her own worth as a citizen.

I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
P!nk makes it clear that she wants to have an open, honest dialogue.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
P!nk asks the President how he emotionally responds to homelessness.

Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
P!nk asks the President who he thinks of when he thinks about the people he governs.

What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
P!nk questions whether the President is proud of his actions and leadership.

Are you proud?
P!nk directly asks the President if he feels a sense of pride regarding his presidency.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
P!nk expresses the frustration and pain felt by many Americans regarding the President's actions or lack thereof.

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
P!nk points out the tragic situations that some Americans find themselves in due to decisions made by the President.

How do you walk with your head held high?
P!nk questions how the President can maintain his confidence in his own decisions despite the negative impact they may have on others.

Can you even look me in the eye And tell me why?
P!nk challenges the President to clearly articulate his justifications for his policies and actions.

Were you a lonely boy? (Are you a lonely boy?) Are you a lonely boy? (Are you a lonely boy?)
P!nk speculates about the President's background and personal life.

How can you say No child is left behind? We're not dumb, and we're not blind
P!nk criticizes the President's education policies, implying that they are not effective or fair.

They're all sitting in your cells While you pave the road to hell
P!nk accuses the President of contributing to the deterioration of society via the criminal justice system.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
P!nk asks a rhetorical question about how a loving father would behave.

And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
P!nk questions the President's stance on LGBTQ+ rights.

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
P!nk speculates about the opinions of the President's wife regarding his policies.

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
P!nk alludes to the President's rumored past substance abuse.

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
P!nk speaks about the struggles faced by everyday Americans due to circumstances beyond their control.

How do you sleep at night?
P!nk reiterates her previous question about how the President maintains his sense of self-worth despite criticism and hardship.

How do you walk with your head held high?
P!nk again questions the President's confidence in his actions and leadership.

Dear Mr. President You'd never take a walk with me Would you?
P!nk expresses her doubt that the President would ever take her up on her offer for a dialogue.
