John Mccutcheon - Hail to the Chief lyrics

I was born in West Texas, pretty near California Far away from Dad's home in DC When I'm talkin' 'bout myself and They're talking 'bout myself All of us are talkin' about me Now some may retort to personal attacks Take the high horse then claim the low road But I'm not revengeful person I'll simply respond with this ode When I delivered the State of the Budget Address I offered a question or two How can a man still put food on his family Will the tollbooth to the middlecla** become more few? It's time to make the pie higher This idea's sure to resignate This is no time to be subliminable It's a time to unificate If there's more trade, there's more commerce And we'll bring this solution to an end Even if your business is Hispanically owned If you speak French or Mexican We're working for a hopefuller country No longer vulcanized Where humans and fish can coexist And each act civilized I think we agree, the past is over Still we're held hostile everywhere Today we're not so sure who "they" are But still, we know that they're there No longer inoculated from what is coming With a foreign-handed foreign policy Keep good relations w/ Kosovoans and Grecians And resist emotionality We know reading is the basics of learning And learning…well…I forget the rest But teach a child to read and he or her Will sure pa** a literacy test So I ask you, "Is our children learning?" Will we tolerate failed subsidation Or will this be where wings finally take dream Not a cufflink of federalization So if you're tired of the politics of polls and of principles It's time that you join this campaign We're looking for women who while serving our country Never the house will they stain Where our priorities is our faith Where a troop can house his family We'll find power to power the power of the power plants No, you'd best not misunderestimates me With every word and every breath Our language dies a slow, sad d**h Hail to the Chief, let's give him hail Part Yogi Berra Part Dan Quayle
