Dear Mr. Man Lyrics - Musicology - Prince

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 

Said 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 b down that way 

but U been trippin since the day of your birth 

Who said that 2 kill is a sin 

Then started every single war that Ur 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 housed in the hood 

Cigarette ads on every block 

Who told me, Mr. Man, that Eye got a right 2 moan? 

How about this bog old 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 

Listen, Ain't no sense in voting - same song with a different name 

Might not b 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 until the people get paid

Ur thousand years r 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 a-y'all
