If I Were in Charge of the World
If I Were in Charge of the World
By Kristoffer McDonough
If I were in charge of the world
I’d make food free
And have a never-ending supply
And it would not spoil
If I were in charge of the world
There’d be no taxes
And I’d print money
And the value of the dollar would not go down
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have trash in the ocean
You wouldn’t have bullies at school
You wouldn’t even have dishonesty in the government
If I were in charge of the world
People would be nicer
And share
And no one would be left out
If I were in charge of the world
There would be more food
And more money
And much less poverty
If I were in charge of the world
All war would end
And prejudice would end
And selfishness would end
The world would be peaceful
If I were in charge of the world
