Lyrics (thanks to Delgres for providing!):
Mr President, you are so smart
Please explain what the hell is going on
Mr President, you are the one in charge
Please explain to us why we’re still struggling

We have to keep on fighting, fighting, fighting…
Struggle, struggle, struggle…

Mr President, me I don’t know shit
I’m just a musician, all I can do is sing
But I did vote for you, put my trust in your hands
Now could you please explain what you gonna do for me

Cause I’m still struggling, struggling, struggling
Fighting fighting fighting
Trying to survive, survive, survive…

Mr President, please be careful
Beacause come one day, people will really get upset
You’ve got everything; You’ve so much money
They have nothing, not even hope.

They keep on struggling, struggling, struggling
Fighting, fighting, fighting
Just trying to survive, survive, survive
