"When I'm President" lyrics

Mother I'm a stranger in a strange land
I feel like an alien
Like I'm on the outside lookin' in
I don't seem to fit in
Maybe I'm Aladdin with a rusty lamp
The genie never stood a chance
To make all my wishes come true
But here's what I wanna do

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I'm president
I wanna 28th Amendment
When I'm president

Like thieves on the holy road
Diggin' up the motherlode
Like pirates on the open sea
Like highway robbery
Still whinin' about your bonus
Man up, you're ridiculous
You know you can't take it with ya
So give a little extra

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I'm president
No more bargains in the basement
When I'm president
Washington, Jefferson
Watch out baby 'cos here I come
Abraham, Theodore
You're gonna see my ugly mug up on Mt Rushmore

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
It's business as usual
How do you wanna buck the system?
Welcome to the pit and the pendulum

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I'm president
I wanna 28th Amendment
When I'm president
No more bargains in the basement
When I'm president
Everything's gonna be different
When I'm president
Veto this, veto that
When I'm president I'll stick it to the fat cats
Cross my heart, hope to die
When I'm president pigs are gonna fly

Look at 'em!
