"Dear Mr. Man" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter
Say dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say, "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna be down that way
But U been trippin' since the day of your birth
Who said that 2 kill is a sin (Tell me who said?)
And started every single war that your people been in?
Who said that water is a precious commodity (Who said?)
Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?
Who told me, Mr. Man, that workin' '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 2 moan?
How about this big ol' hole in the ozone?
What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter
Solo
Listen, ain't no sense in voting — same song with a different name
Might not be in the back of the bus but it sho' feel just the same
Ain't nothing fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in AIDS (No! No!)
Ain't nothing affirmative about your actions till the people get paid
Your thousand years are up
Now U got 2 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 2 end this letter with 3 words:
We tired o'y'all
Tired, tired
Sick and tired of being tired
Dear Mr. Man
(Go on, now)
Hey! What's wrong with the world 2day? {fade out}
Things just got 2 get better
Dear Mr. Man
