CHORUS: X2 My president is black, an I know that it's historic. Can't help but feel I been sold a bad product, an I want my money back, or the change that we demand. I want a new deal - not a black republican.
This year was a bad year, I knew it would be that, they gave us some nice speeches, but I cant eat that. We voted for change, but homie I don't see that. Has a momententum at the start Didn't know how to seize that.
Mr post racial - don't you understand? There ain't no middle ground when you dealin' with the clan we got drones up in Pakistan, forget that - Afghanistan. Just be a grown man, quit playing up in the sand.
We got some real problems, they fuckin' with Glenn Beck. What up wit da Amy Goodman And some Juan Gonzales
An to my name I got three hundred dollas', and to my credit I got ten or so albums My Corolla's bullet grey, and my wife owns that. The car is in her name, but the bank owns the debt
We just moved to Colorado, ain't no jobs here but dumb shit. this ain't a recession; its a readjustment. the late great USA owners of the world days are gone. better learn to grow some food on your own. Only thing about me that's rich is the spices I use, the beats that I rock, the path that I chose.
CHORUS: X2 My president is black, an I know that it's historic. Can't help but feel I been sold a bad product, an I want my money back, or the change that we demand. I want a new deal - not a black republican.
We talking Hoover verse Roosevelt, Fox news verse Rosa Parks, Osama verse Fifty Cent. a Phoenix can't swim with sharks.
So wake up them blue dogs, kick dirt on them' red states. And give us a single payer, fuck all the red tape. And fuck having empire we outta aspire; to more than pursuit of cash relentlessly chasin' power
In high school they taught Latin shoulda' taught Mandarin, shoulda' taught Marxism, shoulda' taught Blacksmithin'.
My money isn't green cause I'm livin' on credit, only time i see green is when they say "cash back or debit."
I ain't mad at wall street, cause we all wanna ball the planet's overpopulated and cant feed em' all problem is a missile costs a couple of mils' wanna' swim up in the beach but i'm swimming in bills an there ain't no reprieve till Obama grow a spine Its the death of a nation and don't need no common ground
CHORUS: X2 My president is black, an I know that it's historic. Can't help but feel I been sold a bad product, an I want my money back, or the change that we demand. I want a new deal - not a black republican.
It was November O-eight My whole state was blue, no New England was red so threw my weight up in; a swing state instead Eight years of this damn war couldn't face it to lose So I drove to New Hampshire; walked em' straight to the booth trooped the whole district holding sides for working fools Six AM election day until the polls close, then got back on the damned line. Callin Alaska, up to Wasilla Still gunnin' for Sarah.
I ain't no democrat but this was fate by the throat I believed in your promise, now where did it go? Guantanamo's still open single payer got dropped. this bailout was murder. Tent cities propped up in the park rendition's still on the table; with no investigation, of war crimes so blatant, as ready invasions
Man what's the matter with you? Audacity's hope, but you ain't done what you said or what we sent you to do.
BRIDGE: X2 My president is black, we still cant relax. The war will stop itself single payer ain't passed. My money's on the movement we're not gonna stop. Gotta keep on working, black president or not.
(yea, ask not what your president can do for you but what you can do to keep your president honest. And i'm saying right now, get outta wall street homie. Run the country, It ain't too late.)
(Don't you think that the truth is a little bit more complex? I sometimes, apart from this, have a strange paranoid idea that maybe, this crisis was manufactured. So that, to uh, so that people will see that even if there is a crisis, the left really doesn't even really have a global answer.)

He's pretty much the opposite of a Republican in terms of policy/Senate voting record. In fact he was statistically even less likely to vote with the Rpublicans on a bill (while in the Senate) than guys like Ted Kennedy who were well known for adhering to party line.
After 8 years with Bush, everyone seemed to think that we live in a country with only one corrupt party. After 8 months with Obama, it became readily apparent that we live in a country with two corrupt parties.

Heh I know what you mean there. But maybe thats the secret of successful pop music: keeping those emotional adolescents hungering for the next part of the song (which starts with the tonic again), by letting the tension of the dominant go into the only relative relaxation part of the subdominant, also making the next part when the progression starts over again even more powerful!! Teens have no chance to escape from the neverending grasp of popmusic LOL.

Clearly they are not all the same, just by changing, our country one the Nobel peace prize.
Nice song CM, we should mix a backround in to you singing it.l
A Nobel Peace Prize given for...? The possibility of change?
-_-;;
So every President brings a possibility of change and the ones who the Nobel Committee consider (on some completely arbitrary basis) to have the greatest possibility of change get the prize?
So when does the corruption stop if the prize isn't actually given to someone who fights corruption, but someone who might possibly -- if his boss, aka Wall Street, allows it -- fight corruption?
