Don’t worry, Joe said nothing fundamentally will change
So you can still end up living in the street cause your rent isn’t magically paid
You can still wind up shot if you’re black on a jog in the middle of the day
You can still wind up losing your job, and then watching your healthcare sailing away
Joe could be sitting in office 2 years after the fact and still be telling us Trump is unfit to be leading The way
I wonder Obama’d wanna say
Before he kicks us out in the cold
Too bad that your charm and your smile and your money can’t buy you a goddamn soul
Thank you for serving us up on an altar to burn in the absence of coal
I bet you when we start eating the rich we will find that Barack is the sweetest of all
Cause he has the deepest resolve.
Cause he was the devious one all along
He came to lead us along,
And most of us swallowed the bait, I know I couldn’t wait to be singing the song, holding the sign, tears in my eyes, something would change, we would be heard, we would be fed, we would start cutting our chains.
Only to find out Barack had been building the gates, and digging the graves, and blowing the bubble that burst in our face, happy to shovel you into your place, happy to let them foreclose on your place.
Happy to smile while bombing civilians, you didn’t know them, they’re miles away,
But now he is targeting you and your kids and the business you started that can’t get a loan and your husband is not getting paid.
We had a chance at a livable future,
And he cut it down right in front of America’s face.
Trump is an imbecile
Trump is a bigot
Trump is a pawn
And Barack is a fucking disgrace.
You push out Bernie, you push us all into the grave!
And Millions of hands of the starving will not see you saved.
So spare me when fucking Obama has something to say.
