President's Face

lyrics

Got a little time, got a little time to kill
Gotta find another outlet, gotta find another thrill
It's mayhem in the night, back to business in the day
There's a debt for vengeance that somebody's gotta pay
They're sittin on the button and they're drawing up an Ace

But I got a card with the president's face
The president's face
The president's face.

Michael, row your boat ashore; Michael, row your boat ashore
Now they're saying you can stay, but you're not welcome anymore
They'll take your family portrait and they'll throw it on the blaze
Then look you in the eye and say, "Go back from where you came."
They'll make you take your history and lock it in a case

But I got a card with the president's face
The president's face
The president's face.

All behold the dream, the miracle of modern man
With a snare on every atom and a life inside your hand
This is the point of contact and the world is listening
Turn my blood and bone to numbers, soul to electricity
You can point me at a target, shoot me in to space

But I got a card with the president's face
The president's face
The president's face.
