Pink - Dear Mr. President
Posted On 2009年9月22日 星期二 at 張貼於 凌晨3:20 by geraldshie本來印象中的pink 只是一個作風特立獨行的女歌手
後來才知道pink對於女權運動以及社會議題一直很關心
這首Dear Mr. President出自於2006年的I'm Not Dead專輯
原本是寫給小布希的公開信
不得不承認當初聽到的時候 只覺的旋律不錯 但其實沒什麼感覺
但最近發生的事情 讓許多人又回想起這首歌
我以前以為小布希是有史以來最白癡的總統
但是我錯了
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy(were you a lonely boy)
Are you a lonely boy (are you a lonely boy)
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
你可曾直視著我?
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh~
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?
