lyrics

Leader of the Free World

She sits in her chair, breathes dead air
While the voices rise and fall
In all likelihood it will do no good
But she said she would
A very long meeting of a very small committee
But someone has to do it, so she’s sitting and sitting
While they talk and talk, she’s looking at the clock
The decision that they take, there’s a difference it might make
Or it might not, but she stays put anyway

She gets it done, she gets it done
The eyes glaze, yet she stays till the setting sun
She gets it done, she gets it done
She’s a leader of the free world, wish I was one

A quick coffee break, she’s almost awake
Let the boredom begin again
The guy on her left sends her a text
That says Shoot Me Now
A very long discussion of a very short subject
But you know how people get when it comes to a budget
So she stays in her chair, she tries to be fair
Someone has to listen and someone has to care
For decorum, or the quorum disappears

She gets it done, she gets it done
The ayes have it, bang the gavel, that was too much fun
She gets it done, she gets it done
She’s a leader of the free world, wish I was one
They get it done, they get it done
The motion passes but her ass is still stuck in that chair
Cos the secretary says he’d like to end with a prayer
And then it’s done, they got it done,
She’s a leader of the free world, wish I was one
A leader of the free world, you could be one
