El President
Drugstore Lyrics

The lyrics to Drugstore's song "El President" speaks about a revolution that happened violently without mercy or disguise. The first lines of the song refer to an unknown group or force that arrived suddenly and forcefully from the skies with their hearts set on fire. The singer of the song witnesses and knows about the "master plan" that has been set out by these forces, and as just a man, he is not willing to give in to their demands. The song speaks about how all the people fell down and prayed, and he knows that they all understand what is going on. The singer then calls for the death of the president, indicating that something has gone wrong with the system, and the people are fighting back.

The second stanza of the lyrics, "Came from the skies in all shades of green, we can always justify," presents the idea of rationalizing the means of their revolution, and justifying it in their minds. The idea of measuring up your dreams is a commentary on how the political system may not be able to grant people their desires, and sometimes, they need to take the power into their own hands. The singer then goes back to the call for the death of the President, and through repetition, emphasizes that the revolutionaries have indeed killed the President, and he is just a man bearing witness to the event.

Overall, the lyrics to "El President" paint a picture of a violent revolution, where the people rise against an oppressive system, and the singer of the song, just a man, is witness to the events unfolding. The song speaks about the master plan of the revolutionaries, the justifications made for taking matters into their own hand, and the call for the death of the President, whose system has failed the people.
