A song waaaaaaaaay ahead of its time.





You have to have a party
When you're in a state like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change

You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll say yeah to anything
If you believe all this but

Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that you're asleep again
President gas is president gas again

She comes in from the left sometimes,
he comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that she wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days it's hell without the sin, but

Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that you're asleep again
President gas is president gas again

President gas
Oh, president gas
President gas
