kids are packing their guns to school
the violence is the golden rule
but they didn't come back
all the whites and the blacks
But there's no comment today
from the room where the big boys play
Well they ain't gone fishin'
but they damn well wishin' they could
And they won't tell you a lie
but the truth ain't gonna
Mr. President, oh, Mr. President
Cause the light at the end of the tunnel
We've been locked out, got sold out
But we don't want no handouts
Cause an able -bodied man
wants to work for a living
But there's no comment today
From the room where the big boys play
Well they ain't gone fishin'
And they won't tell you a lie
But the truth ain't gonna
Mr. President, oh, Mr. President
the same road you stand on
But it don't take love no money
that's the way that the world goes round
I'm in deep with a woman,
but I don't dare make a sound
