Gone With My Wind Lyrics

Wake up! Get down here quick!
The president's had too much to drink
His days of power are about gone
He's been talking to paintings in the hall

He says, "I'm finished, so what the hell?
My life is ruined, what matters now?
I've always itched for that last great thrill
If I die all of you should too."


(chorus)
Gone with my wind
Out with a bang
I'm gonna end it all right now
Gone with my wind
Out with a bang
You're coming with me, oh wow


My bombs will rain down on D.C.
We'll nuke our enemies while they're asleep
We'll be safe in the ground below
And laugh and drink 'til the cows come home


So c'mon, John, whadya say?
It's been dancing in my head for years
What'll happen if I push this button?
Let's start World War III for fun


(chorus)


Mr. President, just sit down
We should talk a little while, I'll pour another round
What about your memoirs' TV rights?
Sit tight - and watch the fire


Let go of me, do you think I'm mad?
To tell the truth, sir, I'd rather not say


Just keep your paws inside your pockets
And planet earth will be OK.


But you reached for the button anyhow
I had no choice but to knock you out
That's just last night's bump on your head
On to the next crisis, it's another day


(chorus)

omg! possibly one of the best [lyrically] songs on the album. and just as relevant today as it was back then [like a lot of DK songs come to think of it]

is this from the point of view of Nancy Reagan? vice president Bush? or someone else?

I think its from the point of the president's aid and the president himself.
