  • I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice
    I wanna be elected
    I'm your Yankee Doodle Dandy in a gold Rolls Royce
    I wanna be elected

    Kids want a savior and don't need a fake
    I wanna be elected
    We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make
    I wanna be elected, elected, elected

    I never lied to you, I've always been cool
    I wanna be elected
    I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school
    I wanna be elected, elected, elected

    Hallelujah, I wanna be selected
    Everyone in the United States Of America

    We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
    We're gonna be elected
    You and me together, young and strong
    We're gonna be elected, elected, elected

    Respected, selected, call collected
    I wanna be elected

    "And if I am elected
    I promise the formation of a new party
    A third party, the wild party
    I know we have problems
    We got problems right here in Central City
    We have problems on the North, South, East and West
    New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles
    Detroit, Chicago
    Everybody has problems
    And personally, I don't care"

  • Vinman.... from CtLovely snag of music, if only politicians, if for only a minute, just listened to musicians.
  • Cody Brockway from CaledoniaGreat song... love love love it... guitar riff in the intro is oddly similar to Hendrix's "Dolly Dagger"
  • Tom E from Rutland, VtJohn Lennon told Alice that this was one of his favorite songs.
  • Ozzi from Brookhaven, PaAnd he's so right about that. "Rock is protest music not music for supporting a campaign."
  • Jake from Colmar, FranceThat's not at all accurate; Alice cooper says in jis interviews that "Elected" was a song critizing politics. In the interveiw, he says "I strically am against mixing politics and rock 'n' roll. Rock is protest music, not music fot supporting a campaign."
