Notes From The Overground : “You are my Br-Obama, Obama…”

You are my Br-Obama, Obama
I want to be absolutely clear with you, “you can have whatever you like”
I’m not talking about fancy cars, Petron or dollar bill rolls
I’m talking about fixing shit in all 50 without the Cent
Do you favor the white tuffs of a pocket handkerchief sticking out of your breast pocket? Done.
Blacktop basketball court instead of a patrician bowling alley? Done.
The end of Russian aggression against Georgia & a reasonable settlement of disagreements? Done.
“And we can pop bottles all night…you can have whatever you like”

Damn, I am so Pr-Obama
I walked through the mean streets of Reno up on King Henry
With my brother & his wife in the unforgiving Nevada sun
To yards with McCain signs, to doors with “Beware Of Dog”
Just to put one of your shiny, slick Early Vote flyers
In the chipped wood cricks of their screen doors
Or to convince the new people from out-of-town
That you weren’t going to take their guns away, no way, no how
“Vacations hit the tropics [alright]…you can have whatever you like”

You are S-Obama, man
I lost my voice on November 4th screaming in the streets of Seattle
There was no rain that night & I remember grabbing my girl & kissing her
So long I thought that we’d lose the others in the crowd
But we were all there together, all in this together
Ready to turn the page on the fake cowboy President bullshit schtick
Horses in the yard & a Texas sunset bluescreened in
“I’m talking big boy rides…you can have whatever you like”

I have to let it all out, Obama-san, for you man–
B-Obama: baby named Obama
C-Obama: one who is co-dependent for a decent presidency
D-Obama: my favorite pizza
F-Obama: pretender to the throne
G-Obama: new team chant for the sadsack Chicago Bears
H-Obama: don’t concern yourself with that
J-Obama: Joe Biden fans who fucking hate plummers
K-Obama: your two cute-as-a-button daughters
L-Obama: Spanish for “The Obama”
M-Obama: you’ve got the momentum, screw Joementum
N-Obama: well, they were very, very wrong
P-Obama: one of my favorite New Orleans sandwiches
Q-Obama: someone who wants to leave things the way they are
R-Obama: ralright Raggie!
S-Obama: as in, that ass-kicking you handed the Republicans all over the U.S. looked SO good on you!
T-Obama: we’ve got your back, we will tow the line
V-Obama: what 56% of us did November 4th
W-Obama: a sign of respect, use an exclamation point
Y-Obama: a chant, a mantra, a shout-out-loud chorus
It’s all “big boy ice…you can do whatever you like”
