Mister President Lyrics
It was the dead of night
Hear the sirens moan
They found the President
Dead on the lawn
Mister Secretary
Before his death
They were doing cocaine
They couldn't help but laugh
Oh Mister President
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you
We orderd a banquet
Sat down to eat
We had the ruler of the Western World
In the Presidents seat
The guest of honour
Was a world in chains
The serving maids wore red suits
We got sunburn in the rain
[Guitar Solo]
Oh Mister President
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you
Oh Mister President
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Hear the sirens moan
They found the President
Dead on the lawn
Mister Secretary
Before his death
They were doing cocaine
They couldn't help but laugh
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you
Sat down to eat
We had the ruler of the Western World
In the Presidents seat
The guest of honour
Was a world in chains
The serving maids wore red suits
We got sunburn in the rain
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you
What shall we do
It's a hard way to cram it in
it's already taken you

Recorded in 1980 in the interregnum between Carter and Reagan. Surreal but very apt song for the times, with America the world hegemon and essentially an Empire and a bully, not only militarily but economically, hence "the world in chains" with "the serving maids wore red suits" an obvious postulation that the Soviet Communists are now servants to the Americans. (Red is communist colours). This may well also be the first transcription of this Bram Tchaikovsky track anywhere on the internet and am glad to finally get around to transcribing some more tracks. :)
