Good morning mr. president
Yes, I've seen you on tv
I'm excited you're gunna change (change) my life yea, what you say sounds good to me

[chorus]
Hey hey president
Yeah you president
You're full yeah, you're full of shit, yeah, shit, yeah, yeah you're full of shit

Nah, not another speech for me
Your neutral voice, and cold robotic stare
Man, you don't care about anything

Makes the laws then arrests us all
But all day long, the words are you see,

10 hours a day, too tired to fight
You got us buying, better money and drink
Ah man, no time to think
