What Are The Lyrics For Down and Out in Paradise By John Cougar Mellencamp?
Dear Mr. President
I live in the suburbs It's a long way from Washington, D.C. Had me a job Working for wages And they forgot about me Can't draw unemployment For some unknown reason My kids are hungry I've got four mouths to feed I go out everyday lookin' for suitable Employment Do you think, there's something You could do for me 'Cause I'm... Down and out, here in paradise Down and out, and I'm on my knees I'm 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, I've no place to live And I'm out on the streets Oh, Mr. President Can I tell you a secret I never ever thought, that this could Happen to me 'Cause I'm... Down and out, here in paradise, Down and out, and I'm on my knees I'm down and out, here in paradise Looks like the milk and honey Done run out on me Dear Mr. President I'm just a young kid I'm in the fourth grade At riley elementary My Mom and Dad's been actin' funny I'm not sure If it ain't got something to do with me My Daddy's always drunk My Mom's a babysitter And I don't 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 Down and out, here in paradise Down and out, and I'm on my knees I'm down and out, here in paradise Looks like the milk and honey Done run out on me |
