I would stop invadin’ nations,
Quit helpin’ corporations,
My policies I’d change.
I would fight discrimination
As a worthy occupation, (breath)
If I only had a brain.
I would talk to really smart guys,
My enemies and allies,
Perhaps my mind would change.
I would try to make decisions
Based on logic and reason, (pause)
If I only had a brain.
Oh, I — would tell ya why
Iraq caused such a fuss.
I guess you know by now the weapons were a bluff.
But there’s the terrorists…and other stuff…
I would not be just a nuffin’,
My head all full of stuffin’,
My country full of shame.
I would think about humanity
(Slower) And re-store some sanity, (breath)
If I only had a brain!
