A#m
A broken man and his wife with
a child ain't got no hope
Outta luck, outta time
Old man, winter's comin' on

One meal ain't enough for three
Is this the way it's supposed to be?
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family

Chorus:
A#m                     G#
Hey, put your foot down  and take a look round,
D#
don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
A#m                    G#
Hey, put your foot down and take a look round,
D#                        F
don't like what you see? No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

Get in line, there's no jobs and the
kids are shootin' dope
Outta work, outta time, mama's startin'
to lose hope, hope

It ain't enough to pray, when you got
no place to stay
Daddy just walked out, mama raisin' family

Chorus:
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey put your foot down, and take a look round
Don't like what you see?
No, no, no

(Hey, woo)
(Hey)
(Hey, woo)
(Hey)

C#                              G# 
Dear Mr. President, there is trouble on the streets,
A#m
now is the time and the test we must meet.
C#                    G# 
Dear Mr. President, take a look around,
A#m                     F
please, Mr. President, put your foot down.

Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
Hey, woo
