LYRICS
BARACK OBAMA
music & lyrics by David McDavitt ©2008

Rising from the heart-land of America
Barack Obama. THE CHANGE WE NEED.
A man who will represent us- the Amercian people.
NOT the interests of the lobbies.


We dont want no corrupt politicians
We dont want the status quo
America is crying out for changes
Who will answer our call- oh?

CHORUS
Barack Obama, the leader we need
Barack Obama, hell battle the greed
Barack Obama, hell fix what is wrong
Barack Obama, make America strong
Barack Obama, hes heaven-sent
Barack Obama, make him President!

McCain said taxes are not for the wealthy
Now family budgets are small & unhealthy
We need help to make taxes more fair
Wheres a politician who actually cares ?

CHORUS

Health-care insurance is heartless & cold
God help the poor, the sick, and the old
HMOs think that life is elective
Who can inject a compassion corrective?

CHORUS


Equal pay for all sexes & races
No more profiling, or hate crime cases
We dont want Kings dream to fade away
Who will defend civil rights today?

CHORUS

Many people are trapped in povertys cage
No one can live on the minimum wage
Housing & training have too high a price
Who has a plan to help poor people rise?

CHORUS

Americans demand better foreign relations
Greed & fear should not hurt other nations
No more Guantanamo, no more Iraq
Who will help other countries, instead of attack?

CHORUS

Oils too expensive, & destroys the Earth
It inspires greed & war like a curse
We need new energy, made on U.S. soil
Which leader will not be a puppet of oil !

CHORUS

With Barack Obama- no book burning
With Barack Obama- scientific learning
With Barack Obama- women have a choice
With Barack Obama- well have a voice
With Barack Obama- no lobbyist greed
With Barack Obama- get the change we
need

'RISING OUT OF BABYLON , BARACK OBAMA , THE CHANGE YOU DON'T BECOME , A MAN WHO REPRESENTS BABYLON AND DI ELITE!!!!'

[peteykkk]

Go to: Her name is Ms Ann. Then: Phil Berg. Then: Larry Sinclair. Then: Rev. James Manning. I respect Manning and Alex Jones. Listen to them.m. Fox News is owned by Saudi Arabia, they pay the salaries of O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity, etc. Let Manning explain. Democrats, liberals and so many Repubs want to shut us down. Obama and his scum partners must be impeached, he is an illegal, homosexual, muslim. Send him and his fat wife back to Kenya, let her try to back a lion down.
