I pushed the button and elected him to office, and
He pushed the button, and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button, and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too longI'm sick of hearing 'bout the have and have-not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we are doing things is
The more we let you have, the less that I'll be keeping for meWell, I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital GDon't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about
Ain't gonna worry about no future generations
And I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it outDon't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You haven't had enough to know what it's like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I'm right, all right!Well, I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to seeWell, I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital GWell, I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to seeWell, I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G
