(I Don't Want) A Beer With The President

I made this one up while f*****g off at work. It's a good thing I'm not the President.

I don't want a beer with the President 

He has to be better than me 

I don't want a beer with the President 

Leading us is where he should be

A head of state's not a homeboy

Hanging in some s****y bar

Doing shots with all his buddies

Then throws up on his car

I don't want a beer with the President

I want him in his office working 

I don't want a beer with the President 

I'm the loser drunk and shirking 

A leader's not a drunken oaf

He's not one of the boys

The boys are nothing but followers

Making a lot of noise 

I don't want a beer with the President 

A leader's not a brain dead slob

I don't want a beer with the President

He needs to do his f*****g job

An Alcoholic Commander in Chief 

Who owes back child support 

Calls an air strike on his x wife

A mission we should abort 

I don't want a beer with the President 

I want a leader I can trust 

He's got his fingers on nuke triggers

He can't be one of us

All of this while at work...
either a beer was in order...
or you really had this on your mine for sometime and needed to let it out in the open...
I understand the entirety of the mock up here...
yet...we voted him into office...not I...but generally speaking...
a leader takes charge of his command...
only after all his soldiers and administration have --- had their fill...
can he take one for himself...
as leader you must earn that right of passage...
he does not by any means lead...but follows...
2 more years and counting...

You are so right Baby, a leader is not one of the rest. And you said it in a way that's funny, cute and clever.

Thank you Divya

Good message here, yes we want leaders we can trust not leaders sleeping on the job

Thank you Cassie

Such a great point - certain positions require that distance, that perspective. It's the same as having a doctor or nurse who falls to pieces - it cannot happen, if the job is to be done effectively. I like this one.
