Are You My President Too?

Hey there in Washington,

Are you my President too?

I’ve got no money

And my prospects few

Tomorrow’s looking grim

I don’t know what I’m going to do

Are there opportunities

So that I can start anew?

Are you my President too?

Hey there in Ottawa

Are you my Prime Minister?

I ain’t no corporate giant

And my goals aren’t sinister

I may be a single mother

Or a bum out in the street

Or maybe a working stiff

Just trying to make ends meet

Are you my Prime Minister too?

I don’t sit on no councils

I ain’t in no lobby groups

But I’m the first one on the line

When you’re sending out the troops

Are you my President too?

You’re everybody’s friend

Leading to Election Day

But when the votes are counted

Do you care what I say?

Got no friends in high places

I don’t wear no shirt and tie

Would you take a look my way

If I tried to catch your eye?

Are you my President too?

Are you my Prime Minister too?

I don’t sit on no councils

I ain’t in no lobby groups

But I’m the first one on the line

When you’re sending out the troops

Are you my President too?

You must be the voice of justice

Standing honest, firm and sure

In the land of the wealthy citizen

And the land of the desperate poor

You must balance on the line

Set a course that’s straight true

And the scent of corporate money

Can’t decide what you should do

Are you my President too?

Are my Prime Minister too?

I don’t sit on no councils

I ain’t in no lobby groups

But I’m the first one on the line

When you’re sending out the troops

Are you my President too?

Are you cleaning up the world?

So that I can take a breath

Or does the army get my tax dough?

In case you have to spread some death

Are you my Prime Minister too?
