Severe Tire Damage: H. Ross Perot

(Russ Haines)


At the time, we wondered if everyone's favorite Texan would run for President again...


Listen:

   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's H. Ross Perot
   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's H. Ross Perot

I make more money than God, but he gets way more babes
I've got three cars I've never seen, and each car phone has an answering machine
Never bothered to vote, just bought the senate
It doesn't matter one third can't read, they'll see me on their TV screen

   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's H. Ross Perot
   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's H. Ross Perot

I make more money than God, but he's got a better address
If I've got all this money, why the hell am I living in Texas?
Some say I haven't got a heart - not true, bought myself a heart of gold
To make myself more appealing to the common man, I'll drop the "H"

   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's H. Ross Perot
   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's Ross Perot

America - where any kid can grow up to be a billionaire, and buy the presidency
America - where every cop will treat you like a king, Rodney King
America - where "civil rights" isn't just a word, it's two words
America - where being president isn't just a job, it's a plaything for the obscenely rich

   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's Ross Perot
   Let's hear it for the status quo, my name's Ross Perot

H. Ross Perot, you've just been inaugurated President of the United States of America
Now what're you gonna do?

I'm buying Disneyland
