I Dont Want To Be President Lyrics
Just after I was born, my father said to everyone
That I would be the
President one day
Youre a natural politician, boy, get it in your head
And you know that it might just turn out that way
So through all the
years of my childhood
There more important things than to play
I
started caring for my country and my fellow man
And this is what I would
always say
Id say, I dont want to be President
But I want to
help the poor and the helpless people
I really dont want to be
President
But if Im elected I promise to be faithful
I
graduated college with my law degree
I was a young man on the move, they
always say
I was helping my community, committed to the people
I
was working as a citizen, to build a better day
They persuaded me to run
for Congressman
They said from Congress you could do much more good
And youve got to have the power if your changing things
And I was
hoping to do everything I could for the people
Id say I dont want
to be President
But I want to help the poor and the helpless people
I really dont want to be President
But if Im elected I promise to be
faithful
Time is a march where the powerful are drummers
Big
business, big labor, big oil
And soon I was meeting with the men who ran
the country
The men who owned the sky and the soil
Oh, I became a
Senator, a man to be reckoned with
Playing golf with millionaires, and
speaking on TV
And when they talked of potential presidential
candidates
Most often talked about, and most prominent was me
Well,
I got the nomination, ran a campaign of conscience
I stood for peace and
brotherhood and for prosperity
And on the day of the election I went home
to my mansion
When the people had spoken, theyd elected me
