Forty years later and nothing's changed, except the name.

'Obama You're The Man'                              
                                                   
The papers and the radio                              
They lied to us today                                          
We need you with your honesty
You know we've been betrayed
The country needs a statesman
Without one it can't stand                                    
The country needs a President
Obama you're the man.

The government has been misused                     
They've treated war like chess
No one ever wins at war
Someone loses less
The people need a patriot
Who'll redesign the land
The country needs a President
Obama you're the man

Your opponents offer promises
But they're empty like before
You wouldn't let our children die
To perpetrate a war
Obama you're the candidate
Our honour must demand
The country needs a President
Obama you're the man.

America's been burdened
And corruption is to blame
It owns the politicians
Democracy's in chains
The alternative is obvious
It's in the voters hands
The country needs a President
Obama you're the man.

IMO, it woulda been better if McCarthy had got in 40 years ago.
