If Clapton Played the Banjo

If Clapton played the banjo,

I'd make more sense of that,

if Jesus stood for president,

I'd pass around the hat.

If I could change the future,

the past would make more sense.

If Buddha stood for president,

the campaign would raise cents.

If there was only something,

something I could do.

I cannot stand for president,

but why oh why can't you?

You only need ten millions,

as a fortune that is small:

if poor men stand for president,

that's hardly right at all.

If Clapton played the banjo,

he'd do it pretty well,

the fools who stand for president

will lead us all to hell.
