The Mad Farmers Liberation Front - Mister President

Dear Mister President how do you sleep at night?
Your people they are hungry yet you ignore their plight
Their houses they've been stolen by the bankers you did save
They wonder where they'll get the courage to survive another day

Dear Mr. President, Oh can you hear us at all, Can you see us at all

Dear Mister President how do you sleep at all?
Knowing that your drones are causing the innocent to fall
Your soldier at his console thinks it's all just a game
He presses kill, drinks a beer and feels he's not to blame

Dear Mister President how do you sleep in bed?
Whilst young men do your killing and their women count the dead
And do they know they fight just to keep the money rollin'
They gave their lives for a dream that long ago was stolen

Dear Mister President do you care at all?
You were elected to represent us and yet you let us fall
Your friends, the elite, are happy with your reign
They are getting richer but none of us have gained

Dear Mr President you must be shaken to your bones
You thought you 'd have some power when you rose to your throne
But you're no more than the puppet of those with interest
And now you do what you're told or you get a bullet in the chest

Oh when your time comes and you stand at that gate
When your heart it is weighed and you finally hear your fate?
Will you see you sold your soul because you thought you must
For a pocket full of gold and a hand full of dust
