Trophies above
Shag rug below
Plaques  for miles
You did it all in style
We were naive
Punks from out west
Trying to survive
Keep our bands alive

You ran the big machine
That could help us live  our dreams
Oh my what a fiery future

El Presidente
Thank you for the great day
When You gave us
c shot in the dark
Our crtists could make art
El Presidente
Casetttes, cds
Vinyl LPs
You made them all
cnd music made you
Roared like a bear
So we knew you cared
Stood up for us
cgainst brick and mortar

You ran the big machine
That could help us live  our dreams
Oh my what a crazy future

El Presidente
Thank you for the great day
When You gave us
c shot in the dark
So crtists could make art
El Presidente

We knew to slog it out
But knew our ship could sink
you helped  us keep the lights on
To keep us from the brink
El Presidente

Laughed like jackals
cnd fought like fiends
unlocked our shackles
So we could live our dreams
Now you've moved on
To help artists fly
On planets and stars
Where music never dies

El Presidente
Thank you for the great day
When You gave us
c shot in the dark
So crtists could make art
El Presidente
