Dear Mr. Man - Prince
What's wrong with the world today
Things just got to get better
Show me what the leader's say
Maybe we should write a letter
Said dear Mr Man we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling
But you don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say
The meek shall inherit the Earth
We gonna be down that way
But you been tripping since a day of your birth
Who said that to kill is a sin
Then started every single war
That your people been in
Who said that water is a precious commodity
Then dropped a big old
Black oil slick in the deep blue sea
Who told me Mr Man
That working round the clock
Would buy me a big house in the hood
Cigarette ads on every block
Who told me Mr Man
That I got a right to moan
How about this big old hole in the ozone
What's wrong with the world today
Things just got to get better
Dear Mr Man we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter yeah so look
Listen ain't no sense in voting
Same song with a different name
Might not be in the back of the bus
But it sure feel just the same
Ain't nothing fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in aids
We ain't that affirmative
About your actions till the people get paid
Your thousand years are up
Now you gotta share the land
Section 1 the 14th Amendment says
No state shall deprive any person of life
Liberty or property
Without due process of law
Mr Man we want to end
This letter with three words
We tired a y'all
Tired tired
Said we're tired we're tired
Dear Mr Man
Hey what's wrong
Wrong with the present day
Man just gotta get better
Dear Mr Man
