Down Out in Paradise Video (MV)

Dear mr. president

I live in the suburbs

Its a long way from washington, d.c.

Had me a job

Working for wages

And they forgot about me

Cant draw unemployment

For some unknown reason

My kids are hungry

Ive got four mouths to feed

I go out everyday lookin for siutable

Employment

Do you think, theres something

You could do for me

Cause im



Chorus:

Down and out, here in paradise

Down and out, and im on my knees

Im down and out, here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey

Done run out on me



Dear mr. president

I used to be a dancer

Got a little bit too old

So I became a secretary

Married as man

In las vegas, nevada

And ten years later

He run out on the kids and me

Some said, I was pretty

But those days are over

Now, ive no place to live

And im out on the streets

Oh, mr. president

Can I tell you a secret

I never ever thought, that this could

Happen to me

Cause im



Chorus:

Down and out, here in paradise,

Down and out, and im on my knees

Im down and out, here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey

Done run out on me



Dear mr. president

Im just a young kid

Im in the fourth grade

At riley elementary

My mom and dads been actin funny

Im not sure

If it aint got someting to do with me

My daddys always drunk

My moms a babysitter

And I dont like the russians

Cause I hear, they hate me

Dear mr. president

Can I ask you one question?

When the bombs fall down

Will they hurt everyone in my family

Yeah, yeah

Chorus:

Down and out, here in paradise

Down and out, and im on my knees

Im down and out, here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey

Done run out on me
