Barack Obama by Electric Needle Room Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Was born and raised in Hawaii
Also lived in Indonesia
A multiracial ancestry
Loved all different types of people
After Harvard in Chicago
Community organizer
Then a rising legislator
His words soon inspired millions
[Chorus]
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
[Verse 2]
Became an Illinois Senator
Rock star turned into a President
First African American
To reach that highest position
Tried to end the Great Recession
With lots of deficit spending
Helped the country pay for health care
A law nicknamed Obamacare
[Chorus]
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
[Bridge]
Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt
Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt
Ended U.S. involvement in the Iraq War, but sent more troops to Afghanistan
Responsible for the death of bin Laden, but caused chaos in Libya
Promised transparency of government but cracked down on whistleblowers
More diplomacy by him around the world but he increased drone warfare
[Chorus]
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
[Bridge]
Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt
Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt
They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same
They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same
They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same
They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same
[Verse 3]
First to support same sex marriage
Healed relations with Cuba
Made a compromise with Iran
He kept his cool no matter what
The economy recovered
But wealth disparity did not
Political unrest growing
And terrorism not subsiding
His words were different but institutions all the same
He couldn't change
[Chorus]
Barack Obama
Barack Obama

They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same

They wanted hope and change, but they got most of the same

Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt

Keep using the state to help, despite a growing debt
They wanted hope and change (They wanted hope and change)
Was born and raised in Hawaii
Also lived in Indonesia
A multiracial ancestry
Loved all different types of people
