From Mr. American President
from Mr. American President
There's a price on your head
equal to one pint of oil
the mangled bodies your see
and war torn souls
is nothing compared to the fear
I will make you feel
learn that you are nothing
in the face of a dollar bill
and not even an asset in this world
your number gives me strength
as your body lies in dust
alive you don't mean much
I can't gain power in that
your death will cause fear
in others like you
and add to my wealth
you will feel hunger
when I want you to
and die in pain
when I need you to
there's a price on your head
and that child's in your arms
which you call the future
equal to one pint of oil
it's useless for you to fight
I will control the world
I already control your soul
