Lyrics

Barackstar O'Bummer Outta nowhere to save the day What a package Marketing hope and change Never seen So much excitement and faith Since MLK Where've I heard this before? -1992 Called himself the "Man From Hope" A "New Beginning" was his tune Signed our sovereignty Over to Wall Street He should have been impeached For treason Barackstar O'Bummer Turned out to be more like Rodney King Puppy dog Beaten up again and again 'stead of fighting Begging on his knees for common ground "Can't we get along?" Who would have guessed Our hero on the stage Had no spine at all To lead in any way Substitute teacher Who can't control the class Or is that part of the act? 'Nother brilliant speech Lights up my TV I wish he was that guy So much promise thrown away I can't help but say What does he want from life? What does he want from life? Barackstar O'Bummer Bush-ness as usual again Great enabler For the biggest heist of all time It's no wonder They put so much money In that coin slot on his head More people lose their jobs More people lose their homes What does he do? But help the banksters Loot the store Bush's wars go on Same old war on drugs War criminals who torture -- He lets them off In love with fracking And filthy oil sands Don't even care If the pollution one day kills his kids Spying on us More than ever before What are we, terrorists?!?! Or kuz they know We're 'bout to blow White House at a young age He just couldn't wait His ego is that big Eyes upon history But what does he see? What does he want from life? What does he want from life? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM LIFE? He let us down Or did we let ourselves down? Drink your latte Oprah-in-Chief will do the work While we sit home Reminiscing 'bout our lost youth On Facebook
