about

I wrote this track quite a few years ago as a satire to the democratic system. It makes more sense now than ever.

lyrics

I’m gonna be your president
I’m gonna be your president
My brain is filled up with cement
Ideas for development
I’m gonna be your president
There’s nothing you can do

I’m gonna be your president
No different from my opponent
I do not need an argument
To validate my government
I’m gonna be your president
There’s nothing you can do

We’re gonna strip you of your possessions and give them to the banks
Destroy all of your hopes and dreams; don’t bother to say “thanks”
Get rid of all the liberals and fill your lives with poo
But please don’t think it’s personal, it is just what we do

We’re gonna fill our pockets with your cash, still will when we retire
Find benefits to all our friends and crooks that we admire
While you break backs in factories 'til the day you expire
I’m gonna be your president, no matter what you do

I’m gonna be your president
I’m gonna be your president
Don’t give a damn about urgent
Rebellions that you may foment
I’m gonna be your president
There’s nothing you can do


Oh, I say it would be fantastic
And no, I’m not being sarcastic
To get rid of you all
And build a fucking wall ‘tween you and me!


I’m gonna be your president
I’m gonna be your president
Too bad my behaviour doesn’t
Quite match my earlier statement
I’m gonna be your president
Ain’t nothing you can do

We’re gonna strip you of your possessions and give them to the banks
Destroy all of your hopes and dreams; don’t bother to say “thanks”
Get rid of all the liberals and fill your lives with poo
But please don’t feel it’s personal, it is just what we do

We’re gonna steal and hide behind a curtain of bureaucracy
So raise your hands and praise your God for this democracy
And if you thought you’d get to choose, you’ll see the irony

I’m sure it is quite evident
That I’m nothing but a tyrant
As dubious as my placement
And I don’t care if you’re pregnant
Invalid or single parent
You’re nothing more than a peasant
Unluckily a resident
And I’ll still be your new regent
So I say it would be prudent
To hide down in your basement
Just like the no good rodent
That you are and remain silent
‘Cause I won’t be hesitant to hunt
You down and won’t be clement
When it’s time to pass my judgment
And I’ll STILL be your president
There’s nothing you can do.
