4 Non Blondes - Dear Mr. President Lyrics

4 Non Blondes - Dear Mr. President Video

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 world is burning it down, ah

Yea yea yea yea yea yea

Yea yea yea yea yea

It's such a beautiful city, but the world is burning it down

I go to my room to turn on the T.V.

I sit myself down

And I start laughing hard

'Cause this man he's asking for money

He says 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, ah

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, ah

Yea yea yea yea yea yea

Yea yea yea yea yea

And it's burning down

And it's called the U.S. of A.

One day I'm gonna have lots of money

And I'm gonna have to give up

For this rich society, oh

Oh please Mr. President won't 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 all 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, singin'

Yea yea yea yea yea yea

Yea yea yea yea yea

And it's burning down

And it's called the U.S. of A.

Ooh, mmm

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

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 U.S. of A.

Yea yea yea yea yea yea

Yea yea yea yea yea

4 Non Blondes - What's Up Lyrics

4 Non Blondes - What's Up Video

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

 

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

 

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out, what's in my head

And I, I am feeling

A little peculiar

 

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I, scream from the top of my lungs

What's goin' on?

 

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey, what's goin' on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey, what's goin' on?

 

Ooh, ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

And I try, oh, my God, do I try

I try all the time

In this institution

And I pray, oh, my God, do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

 

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out, what's in my head

And I, I am feeling

A little peculiar

 

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I, scream from the top of my lungs

What's goin' on?

 

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey, what's goin' on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I said, hey, what's goin' on?

 

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

(Wake in the morning and I step outside)

Hey, yeah, yeah

(Take a deep breath and I get real high and I)

I said, hey, what's goin' on? (What's goin' on?)

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah

(Wake in the morning and I step outside)

Hey, yeah, yeah

(Take a deep breath and I get real high and I)

I said, hey, what's goin' on?

 

Ooh, ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination
