I Wanna Grow Up To Be A Politician (R.McGuinn/J.Levy). I wanna grow up to be a politician. and take over this beautiful land. I wanna grow up to be a politician. and be the old USofA's number one man. I'll always be tough I'll never be scary. I want to shoot guns or butter my bread. I'll work on the towns or conservate the prairies. And you can believe the future's ahead. I'll give the young the right to vote. as soon as they mature. But spare the rod and spoil the child. to help them feel secure. And if I win election day. I'll sign the bill to help the poor. to show I'm not snob. I'll open my door I'm chargin' no admission. And you can be sure I'll give you my hand. I'll be glad you got me in everything I do. and I'll defend until the end. the old red white and blue. I want to grow up.... The Byrds "Byrdmaniax" 1971
