Lyrics 歌詞：(by 好青年 中譯)
Dear Mr. President
親愛的總統先生
Come take a walk with me
來跟我一起去散步
(Take a walk with me)
（跟我一起去散步）
Let's pretend we're just two people
假裝我倆只是普通人
And you're not better than me
而你沒有比我更優秀
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
想問你一些問題，如果能開誠布公
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
當看到街上所有無家可歸的人，你有何感受？
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
上床睡覺前，你為誰祈禱？
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
看著鏡中的自己，你有什麼感覺？
Are you proud?
你感到自豪嗎？
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
當其餘的我們在哭喊時，你怎能安然入睡？
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
當一位母親沒有機會說再見時，你又如何能進入夢鄉？
How do you walk with your head held high?
你怎麼能昂首闊步、目空一切？
Can you even look me in the eye
你有辦法直視我的眼睛
And tell me why?
並告訴我為什麼嗎？
Dear Mr. President
親愛的總統先生
Were you a lonely boy?
你曾是個寂寞男孩嗎？
(Were you a lonely boy?)
（你曾是個寂寞男孩嗎？）
Are you a lonely boy?
你現在仍孤單寂寞嗎？
(Are you a lonely boy?)
（你現在仍孤單寂寞嗎？）
How can you say
你怎麼能說
No child is left behind?
沒有一個孩子是被遺忘在後的？
We're not dumb and we're not blind
我們不笨，也並不盲目
(We're not blind)
（我們並不盲目）
They're all sitting in your cells
他們都坐在你的囚房內
While you pave the road to hell
當你鋪著一條通往地獄的道路時
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
什麼樣的父親會剝奪自己女兒的權利？
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
什麼樣的父親會因為自己的女兒是同志而憎恨她？
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
我只能想像第一夫人會說什麼
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
對於酒精和毒品，你已經做了很大的努力
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
當其餘的我們在哭喊時，你怎能安然入睡？
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
當一位母親沒有機會說再見時，你又如何能進入夢鄉？
How do you walk with your head held high?
你怎麼能昂首闊步、目空一切？
Can you even look me in the eye?
