The Psychedelic Furs President Gas

From their 1982 album Forever Now

Lyrics:

you have to have a party
when you're in a state like this
you can really move it all
you have to vote and change
you have to get right out of it
like out of all this mess
you'll say yeah to anything
if you believe all this but
don't cry, don't do anything
no lies, back in the government
no tears, party time is here again
president gas is up for president
line up, put your kisses down
say yeah, say yes again
stand up, there's a head count
president gas on everything but roller skates
it's sick the price of medicine
stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
open up your eyes
just to check that your asleep again
president gas is president gas again
he comes in from the left sometimes
he comes in from the right
it's so heavily advertised that he wants you and i
it's a real cowboy set, electric company
every day is happy days
it's hell without the sin, but
don't cry, don't do anything
no lies, back in the government
no tears, party time is here again
president gas is up for president
line up, put your kisses down
say yeah, say yes again
stand up, there's a head count
president gas on everything but roller skates
it's sick the price of medicine
stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
president gas is president gas again
president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas

[withConor]

yeah but, is he David Bowies dad then?

[elicat1]

Brilliant and more relevant now 30 years later

[martock36]

@derkaiserbiber Almost every great song musically follows a great bass line. Check out Sugarloaf "Green eyed lady" for example

[hangoverlad]

@eyeinthesky8 It's a sad circular existence history repeating over and over

[eyeinthesky8]

True then And today...... Sad how history always repeats itself. Silly humans we are....

[dubfortheyouth]

I dunno why but "China Girl" by David Bowie always comes to mind when I hear this song. Kinda has the same vibe. Both fucking awesome songs.

[stjohngreen1]

[marcoilbiauto66]
