Please, Mr. President, say it isn't so
I don't have to sell my Cadillac that I just paid for
I talked to Mr. Getty and I talked to Standard Oil
They say they got plenty but they ain't gonna part for no more

My friend says the trouble is this country's too goddamn big
Maybe we should pull it in from the edges a bit
Maybe that way we'll have so far to go
I called Mr. Getty, I even called up Texaco, Texaco

They got plenty left, they got plenty to go
Hey, Mr. President, say it isn't so
Ah, Mr. President, say it isn't so
Why do I have to sell my Cadillac I just paid for, I just paid for?

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
