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.
