Subject: Lyr Add: 'Obama, You're the Man'
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.
