Listening to the end of year overviews on the radio, the ´yes we can´ campaign blurb inspired me to these few lines. Imagine a choir of psychopathic politicians humming this ´we are the world´ tune.
YES WE CANT BUT WE WONT
It was a time of greatest sorrow, yes our country was a wreck
It was a time of greatest plunder, we lost our money, house and jobs
There was war somewhere east, or was in the west
Anyway what was certain, there was a dangerous terrorist threat.
All the others they hated us, for our values and our acts.
All the others they loathed us, cos we did not stick to the facts.
Our friends and our allies, they cheated and they scammed
Our cronies and our patsies, they died or they fled
The children were so violent, they drank and stole and shot
The elders were so brainless, they could not tell what was what
The ice it was melting, the air stank, stick-ed and itched
It was always getting colder, but we thought this meant hot.
Our leaders were at lost, they told us ‘it will get worse’
no matter what they did, we needed someone to reverse
Our god said my people, I need much more blood.
You better earn your heaven, or I'll send you a flood.
And then out of the blue, came a man of color hue
he was charming, he was witty and he said he had a clue
his wive and his children, they testified and stood by his side
his grammy gave her blessings, she voted and then timely died
The stage was raised
to shed a tear
he raised his arm
and programmed us all
Yes we can, but we won't
We will just keep fooling you
Yes we can, but we don't
We will just keep using you
You are dupes, to believe
We will change anything
Why we should, why we would
When we just don't care for you
You will slave, you will fight
You will just keep serving us
You will die, as before
Thinking you did it for a cause
Yes we can, but we lie
And we laugh with your ignorance
Yes we can, and we will
Make it worse for all of us.
Ola la, Obama,
He's the perfect alibi.
Ola la, Obama
Puppet for a power cry.
Ola la, Obama;
He's the one who says it right.
Ola la, Obama,
What a piece of dynamite
Ola la, Obama,
He's the one who gets it sold
Ola la, Obama,
With him you won't get so old.
