We need a remedy
Maybe it's up to me
I'll run for president
I'll run for president
Will you vote for me
And will you run with me
To set the captives free
The ones like you and me
You and me
What a calamity
So-called democracy
We are not really free
We just appear to be
But no one seems to see
The true hypocrisy
The world collectively
Belongs to you and me
You and me
I know I can fly if I would try
So why don't I fly
'Cause I know every eye's not on my side
So as I glide
They'll pull me down and bring me
Back to the ground
We need a remedy
Maybe it's up to me
I'll run for president
I'll run for president
Will you vote for me
And will you run with me
To set the captives free
The ones like you and me
You and me
What a calamity
So-called democracy
We are not really free
We just appear to be
But no one seems to see
The true hypocrisy
The world collectively
Belongs to you and me
You and me
I know I can fly if I would try
So why don't I fly
'Cause I know every eye's not on my side
So as I glide
They'll pull me down and bring me
Back to the ground
