Dear Mr. Man - Feat. 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 trippin' 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
