I turned on my TV, though it was hard to see

G A D D7
He wants to have the bankers’ heads
G D
And if he gets in again he’ll paint the White House pink and then

He’ll hire Chavez as his VP
G D
Then we’ll be right on track to give capitalism the sack
A A7
Along with the insurance industry
[Chorus]

If only it were true, if only it were true I’d be so happy — wouldn’t you?
