lyrics

VERSE
My father was a banker
And got elected by the state
I became an oil man
Through connections he had made

One thing led to another
And I found myself one day
Leader of the free world
President of these United States

CHORUS
And it came to me / So easily
But I worked as hard as any man while serving my country
And it came to me / So easily
Can you blame me? / Can you blame me?

VERSE
I was not the wimp
The pundits claimed that I would be
I think Saddam Hussein
And Mikhail Gorbachev agree

But the only thing you’ll ever hear
About my legacy
Six little words of a broken promise-
Lips and literacy

CHORUS
And it came to me / So easily
Six words are more than most men ever add to history
And it came to me / So easily
Can you blame me? / Can you blame me?

VERSE
I’m a man a few regrets
But one stuck in my mind
Not the one you’re thinking
Those six words I’ve left behind

You see, back in World War II
I came screaming through the sky
But I pulled the ripcord early
Falling fast and terrified

CHORUS
And it came to me / So easily
I’m screaming through the sky again now in my seventies
And it came to me / So easily
Can you blame me? / Can you blame me?
