One of Them

[Verse 1:]
Find me in a dire situation
I'll find my way out
Country and men broke intimidation
And are breaking us free now
I am not the only name floated
But I appear the best
Record is clean, and initiated from
My city's distress

[Chorus 1:]
I know that it's all another casting call
I am at the forefront of it after all
And all my opposition is made out of cash
Everybody knows that I reject all that
Popularity is through the roof
The people have spoken, the people are through
All of the shit that we've taken so far
The party that lied as it walked out the door
Holding a stack of hundred dollar bills
Making progression toward brighter hills
Where cheaters attack their corporate base
Only to throw dollar bills at their face
Aw yeah

[Hook:]
I will never be one of them
I will never be one of them

[Verse 2:]
Claim I am here to destroy what you've built
And to tear party unity in two
Well, you know, I must admit
That is all completely true
And if the polls show right, and if the cards play right
I will surely crumble your party to dust
And burn all the liars and destroy what you've got
Cause what the fuck has it done for us?

[Chorus 2:]
I'm climbing the ranks and I'm up the charts
Made it all the way with just the country's hearts
Do not underestimate my humble campaign
If I've beaten you, I can tough the rain
Up against the Republican
Leaders like "here it goes again
Too far left and out of sight
Of course he's going to lose to the right"
November 8th and it's down to this
Biting their teeth, the country sits
Night's along, and the results come in
Floyd Rivers is president
Aw yeah

[Hook:]
But I will never be one of them
I will never be one of them

[Bridge:]
You do not have to believe me now
But the house is down because the cards knocked out
All the shit that I've taken in my life
Has led me here to where I can make it all right
On the campaign trail I promised free healthcare
Racial justice, and pro-worker policies
If only all the others who promised the same things
Had just done all this shit before me
Then I may have started out in a better position
But that's not the life I lived
And now I'm in the white house
Funny the way things have worked out, isn't it?
Stepping in the oval office I sit at the desk
The same one that for decades and decades was used by history's icons
And now it's my turn to make my mark on time
For all those who've punished me, I'll let bygones be bygones
Men step into the room with a grim look upon their faces
And say "Floyd there's no way that we can soften the blow of this, but
We're here to inform you that your father is dead
He hanged himself with a bedsheet in his prison cell from the top bunk."
My god, this one man may not mean much to the rest of the nation
But on the whole fucking way up here, dad, you've been my inspiration
Of course when life is kind to me, it has to beat my ass again
In the white house and I'm the president, but I've lost my fucking friends
My father may have lied to me more times than I want to forgive
And we may have disagreed, but I don't care that you were conservative
After all, my father knew the one universal truth, and you can bet this
The game was rigged, dad, and I'll be the one to fix it!
Aw yeah!

[Chorus 3:]
They've doomed us out of the economy
Scratched our names out of history
Taken money for backdoor deals
Like the people here are just yours to steal
I have never been more convinced
That the United States needs socialists
Than in a time like this with a crime like this
And a life like this for the counrty's kids
I must be at a loss for words
Because I control who the country hurts
And it'll be my job to find a way
To solve the injustices of today
Aw yeah

[Hook:]
Well, I will never be one of them
I will never be one of them
I will never be one of them
I will never be one of them

[Outro:]
Now one more fuckin' time
