Song Lyrics

All he knew was up in Manhattan
A room a street and a school
The room had no glass
The street had it all
Education he didn't look like a fool
He used to sit in his father's Cadillac
Both coming up with dents
And if you asked what he would be
When he grows up
I'm gonna run for president

In his class the kids lay dents in the inkwells
That he fixed before he went to bed
He would pay off just enough to keep them shut up
Then he could still be the teacher's pet
To his right
Sat the smartest right hands
And on this side
Was the smartest left
With grades they got him on every test
The kid said he's gonna run for president

I'm gonna run for president
I'm gonna run for president
I'm gonna run for president

So he passed by the man on the ladder
He took the escalator of success
He stepped on the weak
And stole from the strong
And kept it all out of the press
He learned to read the constitution
Picked up a few tips about war
He learned how to buy people inside out
He said I'm gonna run for president
Watch me run!

I'm gonna run for president
I'm gonna run for president
I'm gonna run for president
