Presidential candidate and neo-Nazi right-wing businessman Zero Janvier confesses on live TV his frustrated desire to become an artist.

Zero Janvier
I have worked hard for my success
Pulled on my bootstraps, saw it through
My parents' trust fund helped me too

My office tower scrapes the sky
Inside, my name's in golden cast
My secretaries never last

I lived half my life in flight
Between New York and Tokyo
First class is the way to go

In every corner of the world
I own estates with capital
Its riches at my beck and call

Chorus
Then why are you so blue?

Zero Janvier
Hard to believe, and yet it's true
All of my wealth and fame aside
I feel an emptiness inside

I'm very good at what I do
Still, when all is said and done
I never could do what I loved...

Chorus
So tell us what you'd do?
In life, you are what you can do
Not what you would...

Zero Janvier
What I would give someday to sing!
To tell my words, to sing my song
Confess my thoughts, my everything
My hidden secrets and my wrong

What I would give someday to write!
To tell my story to the world
To invent my life in the right
And be a hero for the world
A hero for each boy and girl

What I would give someday to act!
To see myself, the leading man
To change my skin, to change the fact
That I can be just who I am
I can be more than who I am

What I would give someday to love!
To hear just once, "You're not that old"
Believe in some great force above
Who'd save me from this life of gold
Who'd prove there's more to life than gold

What I would give someday to sing!
Oh...

So I can tell the world "I live!"
