Invitation To The White House - Eric Burdon

It was a dream

Just a dream I had on my mind

But when I woke up this morning

No white house could I find

I dreamed I had an invitation to the white house

It was the first of the year The President said, «Eric I’m sure glad you are

here!»

I’ve inherited a country that’s running wild

He said I’m so frustrated I’m asking you for your advice

But it was a dream, just a dream

I had on my mind

When I woke up this morning

No president could I find

I said you gotta open up those borders

I’m talking the North and the South

Let’s make friends with our neighbors

We can turn this thing around

We should make friends with the Canadians

They got more than just snow

And there’s a labor force waiting In the land of Mexico

I said war is an addiction

And the junkies don’t want to stop

They’re making tons of money

With every drip of blood that drops

If you want to be a hero?

Let’s fix America first

Make That miracle happen

You’ll be the hero of the whole world

I know Mr. President

You’ve been given a loaded hand

And War is our culture

Ever since the world began

I said, bring them troops home

And let’s fix this country first

We have the right to happiness

But you gotta get down in the dirt

When I woke up this morning

No president could I find

Just a dream I had on my mind
