Underqualified Blues - By Jim Schwall © 2004

I gotta have some kind of job that gives meaning to my life
A job's really all I need, cause I already got a home and a wife
Now I've tried a lotta jobs before, but all I ever do is fail
You'd think I woulda learned something at Harvard and at Yale
But I got no skills
And I'm less than eloquent
I'm not qualified for anything
That's why I just gotta be president


I woulda liked to be a banker, but my math's not exactly up to speed
I wanted to be a stock market analyst, but I can hardly read
I asked to be a diplomat, but those diplomat guys were not impressed
I'd like to work for the C.I.A., but I would flunk the damn urine test
I just got no skills
And I'm a mental featherweight
There's really nothin' I know how to do
So I need to be a head of state

I tried to be an oil man, but it never worked out right
I joined the national guard, but only cause I really didn't want to fight
I wanted to be a lawyer, but they wouldn't let me back into Yale
Now I've got two growin' kids just like Daddy, and I think they're gonna need a lot of bail
But I got no skills
All I got is my belief
That I've got a heavenly calling
I'm supposed to be commander-in-chief
