1. DEAR MR. PRESIDENT

I'm looking outside of my window
The view that I see
Is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind
Is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
It's such a beautiful city,
But the word is burning it down

I go to my room to turn on the TV
I sit myself down
And I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
He say "if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast"
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down

(Chorus)
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the US of A

One day I'm going to have lots of money
But I'll have to give it up for this rich society
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'Cause you'll just get it back
From the little blind woman
With the kid on the corner
And the people full over, doin' crack

(Chorus)

I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wonder what's wrong
Then I hear this loud piercing siren
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top screaming
What a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
He's burning it down

(Chorus)


2. SUPERFLY

Here I am and I'm waitin'
On a chance to
Make it right
Every word you say
Makes my heart go bang bang
'Cause it sounds so nice

Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it

(Chorus)
Let me take you away
On the wings of my Superfly
Maybe we'll celebrate
All the room in the sky
Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom

What can I do
To get you in the mood
Baby I give up
I'm so misused
And you're so confused
It's such a drag

Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it

(Chorus)

Here I am and I'm waitin'
On a chance to
Make it right
Do I turn you on
Or maybe do I turn you off
Could you just decide

Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
And you've been a fool
Oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it

(Chorus)


3. DRIFTING

What a wonderful hesitation
Who would bear to feel sorry for me
Dropped another pill just to calm me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive

Find myself awake counting sad days
1-2-3 that's too many for me
Dropped another pill just to find me
Reached for my hand but it was already there
Then I started believin'
That I fell out of a tiny raindrop
That lost its way when I decided to roam
Chasing me was a hungry dweller
But I had escaped it by pretending to die

Come follow me you won't expect the illusion
You'll see it's my imagination
Hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
You'll see a little better
You'll see a little better

What a wonderful destination
Where I am now
I can no longer see
Dropped another pill just to kill me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive
But I had escaped it by pretending to die
