You Could Be President Songtext
von Theo Katzman

Wait, wait, ready, yeah

Mama, mama, it′s a mad, mad world
I feel bad for all the boys and girls
I'm falling in from the astral plane
Out of the great unknown into the grand insane
But listen, children, I′ve got good news
You don't have to play by the rules
So step right up and just stake your claim
And I'm gon′ teach you how to play the game

Just throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This old Earth is just a private residence
And you could be President


Mama, mama, I hate to say
Dog-eat-dog seems like the only way
To take your seat in the captain′s chair, yeah, yeah
Lord knows, the golden rule ain't gonna get you there
So don′t be humble and don't be kind, no, no
All that noise is just a waste of time (it′s a waste of your time)
And pay no mind to what the people say, yeah, yeah
So long as the people say your name (keep 'em saying your name)

Just throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This old Earth is just a private residence
And you could be President

Mama, mama, it′s hard to see
That old lady called Liberty
Weeping into that New York bay, no, no
Well, if I could console her this is what I'd say

Just throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This old Earth is just a private residence
And it's all yours, and you can make your mess of it
Run your mouth and mix all your messages
And twist the truth until you can′t make sense of it
You can′t lose if you can keep on bending it
And you could be President (yeah, no)


You could be President (yeah, no)
You could be President (yeah, no)
You could be
President
