[Intro] E   D x8 [Verse] I’m so hungry haven’t eaten for days now I can’t focus I tend to space out The pawn shop’s got my CD player And I pay a bill or two that way The landlord is about to evict me So I creep through to hallway quickly I leave the mail in a pile on the floor In case the bastard peaks though the door [Pre-Chorus]    The situation’s getting worse by the hour    I wrestle roaches the size of rats in the shower [Chorus] But don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine except for some tenents Go back to sleep now! Don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine but I just can’t pay the rent Just count your sheep now Go back to sleep now! [Verse] My Mom has started to fear all strangers The neighborhood she says is getting too dangerous She’s too afraid to even go to the store She says there’s junkies outside the door And she’s convinced that they’re all out to get her She’s too afraid to even open up her letters So if you can look into this ASAP I know your a busy man but please help me [Pre-Chorus]    The situation’s getting worse by the minute    I’m eating rock-hard bread with rat droppings in it [Chorus] But don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine except for some tenents Go back to sleep now! Don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine but I just can’t pay the rent Just count your sheep now Go back to sleep now! [Interlude] E   D x3     [Verse] And when we go to clubs we don’t allways get in ’Cause according to the bouncer we don’t fit in So we’re stuck on park benches sittin’ drinkin’ as the temperature just keeps sinkin’ The social worker hands me a folder But were not going although were growing colder frustrated with the bottle’o’gin in the hand Yes you can already get in to imagine man [Pre-Chorus]    That the situation’s getting worse every second    I’m lucky to reach middle age now I reckon [Chorus] But don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine except for some tenents Go back to sleep now! Don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine but I just can’t pay the rent Just count your sheep now Go back to sleep now! Don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine except for some tenents Go back to sleep now! Don’t cry Mr. President I won’t lie the danger’s evident And not fine but I just can’t pay the rent Just count your sheep now Go back to sleep now!

La chanson évoque la détresse d'une personne qui souffre de la précarité et de l'insécurité. Elle décrit un quotidien difficile, marqué par la peur de l'éviction et des conditions de vie impossibles. Le protagoniste nous parle de sa mère qui craint les étrangers, attestant d'une dégradation de leur environnement. La demande d'aide adressée au président souligne l’urgence d'une situation de crise, tout en reflétant un sentiment d'impuissance face aux injustices sociales. On ressent une lutte constante contre les obstacles, tout en gardant une certaine ironie dans l'espoir que les autorités prennent conscience de cette réalité.
