The Byrds I Want To Grow Up To Be A Politician By R. McGuinn
J. Levy
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I want to grow up to be a politician
And be the old USA'a number one man
I always be tough but I'll never be scary
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
I want to build towns or conservate the prairie
And you can believe the future's ahead
En
I'll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
And if I win election day I might give you a job
I'll sign the bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob
I'll open my doors I'm chargin' no admission
And you can be sure I'll be glad to give you my hand
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land

I'll make you glad you got me in with everything I do
And I'll defend until the end the old red white and blue
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
