Dear Mr. Man

What's wrong with the world today?
Things just got to get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter

Say dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but you don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say, "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna be down that way
But you been trippin' since the day of your birth

Who said that to kill is a sin (Tell me who said?)
And started every single war that your people been in?
Who said that water is a precious commodity (Who said?)
Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?

Who told me, Mr. Man, that workin' 'round the clock
Would buy me a big house in the hood?
Cigarette ads on every block?
Who told me, Mr. Man, that I got a right to moan?
How about this big ol' hole in the ozone?

What's wrong with the world today?
Things just got to get better
Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter
...

Full lyrics here, next to last.

The line about voting I disagree with, but I know where it's coming from.
