When I'm President Lyrics


I remember it well, I was just about three
My dad said, "Son what do you want to be?"
It didn't ring no bells but I said
"Daddy I'm a bit too young, what do you want from me?"I'm much older now, I'm almost a man
I can do anything, you bet I can
Raise a family, now wouldn't that be grand
So sorry, but I got bigger plansI'll just be anything in the world today
Something like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the U.S.A.The American dream
As far as the eye, I say can you see
I want to be
I want to be the leader of the countryWhen I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm PresidentWhen I'm President
Say you can be in my cabinet
Well, I'll be your Heaven sent

A PresidentFirst things, first we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up, all you boys and girls
Your President says, there'll be no after school
So vote for me, now wouldn't that be coolYeah, yeahAnd now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I'll spend all the money when I stop the arms race
All my brothers in the desert gonna have themselves a feast
When that's done then we'll start on world peaceSo go ask Alice
'Cause you know what he said
What did he say?
Remember, I wanna be electedWhen I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm PresidentWhen I'm President
Say you can be in my cabinet
Well, I'll be your Heaven sent
A PresidentPresident
PresidentWhen I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm PresidentWhen I'm President
Say you can be in my cabinet
Well, I'll be your Heaven sentWhen I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
Say, when I'm PresidentWhen I'm President
Say you can be in my cabinet
Well, I'll be your Heaven sent
A PresidentPresident

Extreme is a rock band consisting of singer/guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist/singer Pat Badger and drummer Kevin Figueiredo. The band first formed in 1985 in Boston with then drummer Paul Geary (who later got replaced by drummer Mike Mangini) until the band decided to go on an indefinite hiatus that ended up lasting more than 10 years (1996 - 2006). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, the energy of Aerosmith and Van Halen, as well as Beatlesque pop and a Led Zeppelin organic feeling. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop —their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream — it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four.

They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but received diminished attention from the mainstream following the grunge explosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind" in 1991. Despite this, they released two more albums before the hiatus. Vocalist Gary Cherone went on to join Van Halen in 1997, replacing Sammy Hagar, and the group released "Van Halen III." He left Van Halen soon after, in 1999 and formed Tribe of Judah, with fellow Extreme members Pat Badger and Mike Mangini.

The group reformed in 2004 for a short tour of Boston and Japan, as well as reforming in 2006 for a small US tour.

On november 26th 2007, it was announced that Extreme will come back in 2008 with a new album & tour.
