Billy Kidd's the President, was voted in last year,

Once we children got the vote we made our feelings clear;

Democrats, republicans, they simply left us cold,

Billy was the one, because he's only twelve years old!

We won every Senate seat, and kids run every state,

Now it's law for ice cream to be free on every plate;

Movie shows cost nothing, that's the way we want things done,

We know how to run the world: for future and for fun!

Kids outnumber adults and tomorrow's ours, you see,

Oldies made a mess of Earth, go look at history;

Killed the seas, polluted air and really wrecked the land,

Now the planet's ours it's getting better, oil is banned!

Kids don't hold a grudge and never care for profit hikes,

Games and toys prioritized with dolls and pets and bikes;

Television thought it had us fooled with all its lies,

Adults never twigged: kids see the world through different eyes.

Billy shut down NASA, adults said he'd gone too far,

Then he used that money to perfect the solar car;

Oil tycoons complained of profits lost and falling shares,

Children sent a memo: "Go and tell someone who cares!"

Now that war has stopped, the army's cut to almost none,

Only a policeman is allowed to own a gun;

Street gangs are disbanded now, it's goodbye for the Mob,

No one turns to crime cause everybody has a job!

Billy cancelled Wall Street, and the nation gave their thanks,

Then he vetoed lawyers and he shut down all the banks;

All were making money for the ones who didn't need,

One thing children never understood was adult greed.

Everybody's happy now, (except ex-CEO's,)

Air is clearer every day as children power grows;

Kids deserve a future with an ocean, sky and stuff,

Listen to the growing voice of youth: Enough's enough!
