To Build A Politician ©1982
by David A Myers
V1 intro... G C G D
G C G D
Give him feet and he'll run for an office. Give him arms and he'll reach for your land
G C D Bm D D7 G C G D
Give a mouth and he'll speak on the T.V. and tell you 'bout how he is spending your money today
G C G D
Give him eyes so he can find all your money. Give him ears to hear you talk on your phone
G C D Bm D D7
Give him legs so he can walk on the people and take them on journeys to countries like Viet Nam

CHORUS
D G C G D G C D
Oh politician you're put together so well. Oh politician I wish you'd go to ...
V. 2
G C G D
Give him hips so he can sit in a big chair. Give a nose that he can grow big and long
G C D Bm D D7 G C G D
Give him teeth that'll gleam at the cam'ras And make people think Yeah that he is a very nice guy
G C G D
Give a mind so he can think clear to screw you. Give a throat so he can sound big and strong
G C D Bm D D7 G
Give him knees so he can bow to big business while taking his cut and making your taxes to high

CHORUS
D G C G D G C D
Oh politician you're put together so well. Oh politician I wish you'd go to ...
V. 3
G C G D
Give him fists that he can shake at the U.N. Give him bombs that'll blow up your home
G C D Bm D D7 G
Give him all of your sons and your daughters, who'll die for their country and think that it's done for the Lord
G C G D
Give him hands so he can manhandle countries. Make him rich so he can buy off the cold
G C D Bm D D7 G
Feed him well so he won't think about the hungry, But hold back his heart or he might find you've made him all wrong

CHORUS
D G C G D G C D
Oh politician you're put together so well. Oh Politician I wish you'd go to ...
D G C G D G C D G
Oh politician you're put together so well. Oh politician I wish you"d go to hell
