Ian Hunter & The Rant Band - When I'm President lyrics

Well mother, I'm a stranger in a strange land Feel like an alien It's like I'm on the outside looking in I don't seem to fit in Maybe I'm Aladdin with a rusty lamp A genie never stood a chance To make all our wishes come true Well, here's what I want to do I'm going to lean on the one percent When I'm president I want a twenty-eighth amendment When I'm president Like thieves on the holy road Digging up the mother lode Like pirates on the open sea Like highway robbery Still whining about your bonus Man up you're ridiculous You know you can't take it with you So, give a little extra I'm going to lean on the one percent When I'm president No more bargains in the basement When I'm president Washington, Jefferson Watch out baby because here I come Abraham, Theodore You're going to see my ugly mug on Mount Rushmore, yeah You go in with the right intent When you become president You hold those truths to be self-evident When you become president But something happens to you up on the Hill There's business as usual How do you want to buck the system Welcome to the pit and the pendulum I'm going to lean on the one percent When I'm president No more twenty-eighth amendment When I'm president No more bargains in the basement When I'm president Everything's going to be different When I'm president Veto this yeah Veto that yeah When I'm president I'll stick it to the fat cats Cross my heart Hope to die When I'm president Pigs are going to fly Look at ‘em
