lyrics

Oh Mr. President,
I'd like to look inside your head
Oh Mr. President,
Can you see the burning bodies dead?

You order out the dogs,
Initiate the cogs of your crushing war machine
Gives the air a dark red sheen
Oh Mr. President, you can watch it all behind your screen

Oh Mr. President,
You're not the one you said you were
Oh Mr. President,
You tell us nothing with your words

You stand before the lights,
You slowly read your lines,
And you cannot meet out eyes; we might see into your mind
Oh Mr. President, how quickly can you tell your lies?

Oh Mr. President,
Can you be sure of what you said?
Oh Mr. President,
They held a gun against your head

You blow apart the rules as we the people drool
And wait for something new
It'll never come, you fools
Oh Mr. President, I'm sure you feel safe inside those shoes

Oh Mr. President,
I don't believe in what you say
Oh Mr. President,
I think it's always been that way

You're just another cheat,
We'll vote again next week for another phony face
Presented by the money makers
And Mr. President, I know you're really not to blame
