When I'm President by Ian Hunter & the Rant Band
“Love this song - probably the smartest song about American politics in a long, long, time. Maybe ever. Idealism vs. reality c.2014... "You go in with the right intent when you become President/ You hold those truths to be self-evident when you become president/ But somethin’ happens to you up on the hill, it's business as usual /How do you want to buck the system ? Welcome to the Pit and the Pendulum."”
