Look What I Can Do
I can control the flow of tears.
Start a new nation of pioneers.
Build and teach a better school.
And I can split the atom of a molecule.
I can make what is yours mine.
Speak to the deaf community by sign.
I am the one who can drop the ax.
Take away or raise your tax.
I can write a best selling book.
Take what I want and not be a crook.
I can approve and sell you narcotics.
And I can make new antibiotics.
I can sweep you under the rug with a broom.
Give us more power in a technology boom.
You can say pretty much everything I do own,
because I can lead a nation with a microphone.
I can go until I want to stop.
I feel so alive to be on top.
Go anywhere, my reach is global.
You can't say anything my cause is noble.
In my tower I am secure.
In my position, my power is pure.
I can hand out a million vaccinations.
Let them all die in exasperation.
Its all under my command, its my right.
I can guide missiles by satellite.
You chose me as your number one.
You gave me the power of the sun.
