Fitz And The Tantrums - Dear Mr. President Lyrics






Hey, woo
Hey, woo

Broken man and his wife with a child ain't got no hope
Outta work outta time, old man winter's comin' on

One meal ain't enough for three
is this the way its supposed to be
daddy just walked out mamma raisin' family

Hey put your foot down and take a look round
Don't like what you see
No No No No No No
Hey put your foot down and take a look round
Don't like what you see
No No No No No No

Hey, Woo
Hey, Woo

Get in line there's no jobs and the kids are shootin' dope
Outta work outta time mamma's startin' to lose hope, hope

It ain't enough to pray
When you got no place to stay
Daddy just walked out mamma raisin' family.

Hey put your foot down and take a look round
Don't like what you see
No No No No No No
Hey put your foot down and take a look round
Don't like what you see
No No No No No No

No No No

Dear Mr. President

There is trouble on the streets
Now is the time and the test we must meet.
Dear Mr. President,
take a look around
Please Mr. President,

put your foot down

No No No

Hey, woo
Hey woo

  8. J.... C....

    Silice season 5 of vampire diaries brought me here 😊

  9. C.... B....

    This is probably the first song I ever heard by Fitz and the Tantrums, but this wasn't really my introduction to the group. When I heard it in commercials, I didn't know who sang it or what it was called. Years later, I hear "The Walker" at work, I HAVE to find out who did it and what it was called. When I learn that it's Fitz and the Tantrums, I listen to "The Walker on repeat a few times. Then I decide to listen to other songs of theirs. Then I found out that they did several great songs that I have heard and I just didn't know it was them.

    I now have all their albums and have seen them live. GREAT group. This is one of my top 5 favorite songs by the group. Strangely, they don't play it live anymore.

  10. A.... I....

    Class of 3000 Throwdown

  11. a.... f....

    This would have gone great with the film Baby Driver

  12. D.... ....

  15. C.... F....

    i'v been a really big fan of this band

  16. C.... F....

    i used to think this song was for donald trump at first but then i rememberd that this was 1 of thier first songs

    C.... F....

    LOL Obama was president when this song came out. It might have been written for George W. Bush though, as it could've been written years before it came out. But, kinda both sad and funny at the same time, this song is probably more relevant now than when it came out!

    C.... F....

    This song will be timeless because presidents will pretty much always be pieces of shit

  17. R.... A....

    Grey's Anaromy

  18. m.... ....

  19. K.... A....

    Just saw them in Calgary, absolutely amazing!

    K.... A....

    I just saw them in a small city in Viriginia near Washington D.C. I agree, they are absolutely amazing! I don't know why they didn't play this song though! It's one of my favorites and it's one of their most well-known songs because of the Mazda commercial, and judging by the comments apparently also Grey's Anatomy and The Blacklist.

  20. R.... T....

    Thank you Mazda for using this in your commercials! This is an awesome song!

    I.... ....

    lmao right!

    I.... ....

    So that's where I've heard this song! I got the album because I became a fan through other songs like "The Walker" and "Moneygrabber." When I listened to "Dear Mr. President," it sounded strangely familiar. And I couldn't understand why. It's not a single: it's not one of the songs I hear at work or when I go shopping. But now I realize that it was in commercials. That's how I know it!

  52. �.... H....

    Come on over and do the twist, cuz I might do it and have a fit:  Fitz And The Tantrums- Dear Mr. President

    �.... H....

    Great one.

  53. E.... R....

    Honestly, who else hears the heavy moby influence in this song?

    E.... R....

    I heard it. when this song came on my pandora I thought it was him

  54. E.... L....

    Best band EVER. Hoping to see these guys in concert in the future!

  55. R.... T....

    Does anyone hear the David Bowie influence? Sounds good. Oh and Mazda brought me here to.

    R.... T....

    I googled the song because I seriously thought it was David Bowie from hearing it on the commercial.

  56. E.... Z....

    Great! Also thanks to Mazda. Excellent taste. Stunning lyrics

  57. A.... M....

    Yep, Mazda brought me here...great tune!!

  58. B.... ....

    Absolutely love that these guys are getting the positive attention they deserve :) been a fan for a few years now and it's great to see more people liking them 

    B.... ....

    Too bad they gave up everything that made them special and became another generic uncreative pop band now

    B.... ....

    @MattSolid VA sad but true. Their first album was flawless, but their music has gone downhill with each album ever since.

  59. k.... ....
