The Commander

I am the commander Said the foolish old man With the idiot's grin. I am the commander And you will obey Everything that I do Everything that I say. I am the commander And the world's never seen A war president exactly like me. So the land of the free And the home of the brave All of their rights and freedoms they gave To the foolish old man with the idiot's grin And watched as the great war did begin. They watched with great sadness And all were forlorn To see how easily a dictator was born. The moral of my story My loyal friend and true Be careful who you vote for It can happen to you.
