4 Non Blondes - Dear Mr. President Lyrics






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
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
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
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
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

    Writer(s): Linda Perry
    album: "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!" (1992)

    4 Non Blondes was an alternative rock and hard rock band in the early nineties when alternative rock was in vogue. They had great commercial success with their second single "What's Up?" taken from the first and only studio album, "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!" released in late 1992. The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 in 1993 when the second single mentioned was at the height of its success at that time. "What's Up?" reached number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100. The album managed to sell one and a half million copies in the United States alone. In the UK, the single reached the top ten and was also a big commercial success all over the world. The album also peaked at number four in the UK's bestseller and was certified gold for sales of over 100,000 units. Overall, the album was a commercial success and sold over six million copies. Still in the nineties, members of the 4 Non Blondes, led by Linda Perry, decided to officially finish and Linda Perry was more successful as a composer of other artists such as Christina Aguilera. A great alternative rock album and a worldwide commercially successful single are left in history!

  14. 4.... ....

    I see all these comments about the 90's being so great musically. No question there was some great songs and good bands, (like this group), but the people commenting need to dig into the sixties and seventies when artists released albums, it was an event! And the music was incredible. Sorry, but it is true. I notice most good bands now are kind of folk, which is good.. Check out a song called Like a Rolling Stone, Gimme Shelter or anything by the Beatles. You will be impressed if you give the songs a chance. (Love this band tho)

  15. A.... A....

    NOSOTROS LOS NECESITO ALWAYS.
    I NEED YOU FAST, CAN PASS MORE SHIT ONLY I WANT DO MYSELF AND DO USED, FEEL EXACTLY ALL LIKE SHIT AND LATER KNOWN THE TRUE IT'S LIKE ANYBODY KNOWN THIS SHITS CAN SHOW OURSELVES.

    IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT...
    AND THE COWARDS FIGHT IN THE WAY IN 6 YEARS AND MOUTHS.
    I NEED LIVE ONE TO DO ME SHIT AND TO MY KIDS.
    I NEED LIVE THIS SHITS, BECAUSE SOME REASON?.

    THIS SHITS ONLY KNOW DO ME SHIT AND USED ALL WANT AND SAY AND FEEL GOOD ONES AND THE ONLY ONE.
