You Could Be President
Momma momma
It's a mad mad world
I feel bad for all the boys and girls
Fallin' 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 stake your claim
And I'm gonna teach you how to play the game
Just
Throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches inspite of evidence
This whole earth is just a private residence
And you'll could be President
Momma momma I hate to say
Dog eat dog seems the only way
To take your seat in the captain's chair
Lord knows the golden rule ain't gonna get you there
So don't be humble and don't be kind
All that noise is just a waste of time and time
And pay no mind to what the people say
So long as the people say your name
Just throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This whole earth is just a private residence
And you could be President
Momma momma it's hard to see
That old lady called liberty
Weppin' in to that new York bay
Well I could console her
This is what I'd say
Just throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches inspite of evidence
This whole earth is just a private residence
And it's all yours so you can make your mess of it
Run your mouth and mix all your messages
Twist the truth until you can't make sure of it
You can't lose if you keep on bending it
You could be President
Yaee. no
You could be President
Yaee. no
You could be President
Yaee. no
You could be, President.
It's a mad mad world
I feel bad for all the boys and girls

But listen children I've got good news
You don't have to play by the rules
So step right up and stake your claim
And I'm gonna teach you how to play the game
Just
Throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches inspite of evidence
This whole earth is just a private residence
And you'll could be President
Momma momma I hate to say

Yaee. no
You could be President
Yaee. no
You could be President
Yaee. no
You could be, President.
