When someone tells you lies, fabricates and exaggerates, twists the facts, then twists the knife, call him by his name, call him by his name. When someone points the finger, places blame without a doubt, uses evidence he can't produce, call him by his name, call him by his name. This song is dedicated to the President who never was. Hail to the Chief and Hell with the Thief Hail to the Chief and Hell with the Thief When someone rigs the outcome, lets the foul go without a call, stacks the bench with his peers call him by his name, call him by his name. This song is dedicated to the President who never was. Hail to the Chief and Hell with the Thief Hail to the Chief and Hell with the Thief Who are the fortunate sons who disenfranchised you? Who still mocks your democracy? Was it the President who never was? Hail to the Chief and Hell with the Thief. · · · · · ·
