PINK WANTS POLITICAL POP

Pop star PINK will continue venting her political frustrations in songs, because she thinks it is the most effective way of making her voice heard.

MR PRESIDENT, a track on the pop star's latest album, I'M NOT DEAD, takes a swipe at US leader GEORGE W BUSH with the lyrics: "Dear Mr President/What do you feel when you see all the homeless in the street/Do you pray at night before you go to sleep."

Pink says, "This is one of the smarter songs I've written. My way is usually waving the flag and saying, 'You're wrong, burn in hell.'

"This is subtle and provocative, and it's very innocent."
