lyrics

President by Dylan Baker

I'm not president, but if I were,
I'd meet you in a dark alley so we could confer.
I'd tell you to bring the pot
I promise you won't get caught.

Everyone wants to be heard
But all I hear is reverb.
Echoes of millions reduced to a news blurb.

Conscience with no consistency
Terror where there's democracy.
Intentions full of conspiracy.

I'm not president, but if I were
I bring full case of brews, won't believe the news.
Everything is all right, you can sleep at night.
Put money in your pocket, keep it safe when you lock it.
Turn and face the nation
Take your mom on vacation
Stand outside your door help feed the poor.

Sincerity is gone...

I'm not president, I'm not even a resident. I'm just a co-habitant, on this here continent.
Everyone wants to be heard, all I hear is reverb. Echoes of millions reduced to a news blurb. Conscience with no consistency, terror where there's democracy. Agendas full of conspiracy. Sincerity is gone....
