about

This was written when the idea of a maniac reality tv star might become the President of the United States. Desperate times calling for desperate measures.

lyrics

Packed some stuff into a stolen car, a paper bag, a secret and some scars and I might be the one to change the world. Just wait and see...
A couple of things that I won't deal with: Bullshit, Greed and Injustice!
And I might be the one to change the world. Just wait and see..

Because I know God damned for sure ain't no one else feels like me

I heard someone say, just the other day, a billionaire has gone and bought his way to a leadership role in my good ol' U.S. of A.
It's like I said a million times before, someone has got to even out this score and I might be the one to save the world. Just wait and see..

Because I know God damned for sure ain't no one else, out there, feels like me

And I know that I'm alone and it ain't nobody's fault
You can lead a horse to water, we can teach a bird to talk
And I know there ain't no reason to let this shit go on
We should teach a better lesson to our daughters and our sons.

So, I propose a real clear idea, let's shoot the one that mongers us the fear instead of all the innocent people dying out there.
It's like I said a million times before, someone's gotta even out this score and I might be the one to save the world. Just wait and see..

Because I know God damned for sure ain't no one else, in here, feels like me

And I know that I'm alone and it ain't nobody's fault
You can lead a horse to water, we can teach a bird to talk
And I know there ain't no reason to let this shit go on
We should teach a better lesson to our daughters and our sons.
We should teach a better lesson to our daughters and our sons.
