Verse
A E
I turned on my TV, though it was hard to see
D E
These men who’d be head of state
A E
What a great country, from sea to shining sea
D E A
We watch the Republicans debate
E
Newt stood with his third wife, and said you bet your life
D E
The president is a red
A E
He wants to tax the rich a lot and take your limo and your yacht
D E A A7
He wants to have the bankers’ heads
D A
And if he gets in again he’ll paint the White House pink and then
E A A7
He’ll hire Chavez as his VP
D A
Then we’ll be right on track to give capitalism the sack
E E7
Along with the insurance industry
[Chorus]
D A E F#m
If only it were true, if only it were true I’d be so happy — wouldn’t you?
D A E A
If only it were true, if only it were true, if only it were true
[Verse]
E
He’ll give everyone food stamps and wheelchair ramps
D E
He’ll subsidize windmills and maple syrup
A E
He’ll cripple industries with eco-friendly policies
D E A
And pretty soon we will be just like Europe
E
He’ll shut down oil wells and deliver solar cells
D E
To each home in Delaware and Illinois
A E
He’ll ban logging in the parks, he’ll send the works of Karl Marx
D E A A7
To the homes of every American girl and boy
D A
He’ll abolish pesticides, he’ll be giving out free rides
E A A7
And free lunches, too, inside his high-speed trains
D A
He’ll start lots of public works, full of union perks
E E7
He’ll fill all the cities up with bicycle lanes
[Chorus]
D A E F#m
If only it were true, if only it were true I’d be so happy — wouldn’t you?

If only it were true, if only it were true, if only it were true

E
Watch out, his critics tell, this shall be our death knell
D E
He’ll pull the troops out and end all of our wars
A E
He’ll gut military spending, our empire will be ending
D E A
And soon we’ll be invaded by the Moors
E
He’ll legalize all drugs, give away beer mugs
D E
And hookas to every child — and Korans
A E
He’ll ban religions from the schools, give 40 acres and a mule
D E A A7
To every person who makes less than 50 grand
D A
He’ll shut down Guantanamo, to torture he’ll say no
E A A7
He’ll make us all drive electric cars
D A
He’ll reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, take off that damn flag pin
E E7
And he’ll put Rupert Murdoch behind bars
[Chorus]
D A E F#m
If only it were true, if only it were true I’d be so happy — wouldn’t you?
D A E A
If only it were true, if only it were true, if only it were true
