When I’m PresidentExtreme

I remember it well, I was just about three
My dad said, "Son, what do you want to be?"
It didn't ring no bells, but I said
"Daddy, I'm a bit too young, what do you want from me?"

I'm much older now, I'm almost a man
I can do anything, you bet I can
Raise a family, now wouldn't that be grand
So sorry, but I got bigger plans
Yeah!

You can be anything in the world today
Something like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA

(The American Dream)
Oh, as far as the eye oh say can you see
(I want to be)
I want to be the leader of the country

When I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President

When I'm President
Say, you can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent
President

First things first, we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up, all you boys and girls
Your prez says there'll be no after school
So vote for me, now wouldn't that be cool?

(Yeah), yeah
(Yeah), yeah

And now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I'll spend all the money when I stop the arms race
On my brothers in the desert, gonna have themselves a feast
When that's done, then we'll start on world peace

(So go ask Alice)
Oh, you know what he said
(What did he say?)
"Remember, I wanna be elected"

When I'm president
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm president

When I'm president
Say, you can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent president...huh!

[Guitar solo]

President [coughs]
President

When I'm president
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm president

When I'm president
Say, you can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent...

When I'm President
Things will be different
I'd like a new government
Say, when I'm president

When I'm president
Say, you can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent president
President

You want me to go down there to the houses of Harlem with a police man?
Not gonna do it!

Extreme

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
