Democratic Process lyrics

(You could be the President)
(You could be the President)
   (One nation, oh my god)
(You could be the President)
I went to my dentist s at 3rd and Market
That wisdom tooth had to go
I d never seen my dentist so friendly before
As he put me under he shook my hand and said "Congratulations"
Was he saluting my courage?
I woke up to the smell of cigar smoke
I thought I heard my name being shouted
I opened my eyes, I was onstage standing right next to the candidate
Across the hall I saw banners with his name and mine
My mouth was still numb but I smiled big
I still had the bib around my neck
One of the press photographers yelled "How about a couple without the
bib?"
   And it s true
   Here I am
   This could never happen in Russia
   Look Ma, it s me
   Restores my faith in the democratic process
I ve never understood party politics
And I ve never figured out how vice-president candidates are chosen
Who would have believed it s from your dental records
   But it s true
   Here I am
   This could never happen in Russia
   Look Ma, it s me
   Restores my faith in the democratic process
   Yeah it s true
   This could only happen in America
   Look Ma, it s me
   I ve got some faith in the democratic process
This could never happen in Russia
Hi Mom
