Analysis of if I were in charge of the world

tawni parry 2007 (California)



If I were in charge of the world
 I'd get rid of electric cars
and I'd get rid of solar power cars
and then get rid of self-driving cars.

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be more roller skating rink
and more ice cream shops
and no Ford cars.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have bills
you wouldn't have to pay for food
you wouldn't even have high gas prices.

If I were in charge of the world
people with the ice cream sundaes every Sunday
and Tacos every Tuesday
and no one would have to eat vegetables

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be more theme parks
and more public pools
and much less sport

If I were in charge of the world
all anyone would have to do is have fun
and no one would have to work
and there would be no school
the world would be amazing
if I were in charge of the world
