paroles de chanson I Don't Want to Be President - Harry Chapin
Just
after
I
was
born,
my
father
said
to
everyone
That
I
would
be
the
President
one
day
You′re
a
natural
politician,
boy,
get
it
in
your
head
And
you
know
that
it
might
just
turn
out
that
way
So
through
all
the
years
of
my
childhood
There
more
important
things
than
to
play
I
started
caring
for
my
country
and
my
fellow
man
And
this
is
what
I
would
always
say
I'd
say,
I
don′t
want
to
be
President
But
I
want
to
help
the
poor
and
the
helpless
people
I
really
don't
want
to
be
President
But
if
I'm
elected
I
promise
to
be
faithful
I
graduated
college
with
my
law
degree
I
was
a
young
man
on
the
move,
they
always
say
I
was
helping
my
community,
committed
to
the
people
I
was
working
as
a
citizen,
to
build
a
better
day
They
persuaded
me
to
run
for
Congressman
They
said
from
Congress
you
could
do
much
more
good
And
you′ve
got
to
have
the
power
if
your
changing
things
And
I
was
hoping
to
do
everything
I
could
for
the
people
I′d
say
I
don't
want
to
be
President
But
I
want
to
help
the
poor
and
the
helpless
people
I
really
don′t
want
to
be
President
But
if
I'm
elected
I
promise
to
be
faithful
Time
is
a
march
where
the
powerful
are
drummers
Big
business,
big
labor,
big
oil
And
soon
I
was
meeting
with
the
men
who
ran
the
country
The
men
who
owned
the
sky
and
the
soil
Oh,
I
became
a
Senator,
a
man
to
be
reckoned
with
Playing
golf
with
millionaires,
and
speaking
on
TV
And
when
they
talked
of
potential
presidential
candidates
Most
often
talked
about,
and
most
prominent
was
me
Well,
I
got
the
nomination,
ran
a
campaign
of
conscience
I
stood
for
peace
and
brotherhood
and
for
prosperity
And
on
the
day
of
the
election
I
went
home
to
my
mansion
When
the
people
had
spoken,
they′d
elected
me
But
I
don't
want
to
be
President
