Lyrics
English: Dear Mr. President, I'm taking this time to write to you / About a couple of little of thing bothering me / Helping my country in my own way... / I don't cotton on to them folks that march up and down / Carrying all them big old signs and tearing up our towns / But there ain't nothing I can do...I do all I can / Trying to make a meager living on my old dry land... / I'm just gonna have to quite getting the daily news / Cause just like that Mr. Agnew, I'm getting tired of reading about it
