Mr. President by The Heptones Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, no-no-no
You can't do us so (No!)
No-no-no, can't do me so (No, no!)
[Verse 1]
Oh, Mr. President, listen to me
I've got to tell you about the people's poverty
I know there is a lot that man you can do
Oh, but the pain we bearin' means nothing to you
[Chorus]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
[Verse 2]
Oh, Mr. President, in your easy chair
How can you sit around like you don't even care?
And you don't really know what one thing can do
Can cause your best friend to even steal from you
[Chorus]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, no
[Bridge]
Wicked men (Oh, no)
Doing all the bad you can
Got to get you out
[Verse 3]
Oh, Mr. President, why are you so mean?
Now, aren't you flesh and blood like all human being?
How can you sit there and watch humble die
How do you really feel when hungry babies cry?
[Outro]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
No, Mr. President (No-no!)
You can't do me so (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, no-no-no
You can't do us so (No!)
No-no-no, can't do me so (No, no!)
[Verse 1]
Oh, Mr. President, listen to me
I've got to tell you about the people's poverty
I know there is a lot that man you can do
Oh, but the pain we bearin' means nothing to you
[Chorus]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
[Verse 2]
Oh, Mr. President, in your easy chair
How can you sit around like you don't even care?
And you don't really know what one thing can do
Can cause your best friend to even steal from you
[Chorus]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, no
[Bridge]
Wicked men (Oh, no)
Doing all the bad you can
Got to get you out
[Verse 3]
Oh, Mr. President, why are you so mean?
Now, aren't you flesh and blood like all human being?
How can you sit there and watch humble die
How do you really feel when hungry babies cry?
[Outro]
Mr. President (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
No, Mr. President (No-no!)
You can't do me so (No-no!)
Oh, Mr. President (No-no!)
