"special thanks to the 44th president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, for being not just the spiritual center of the third verse of this song, but for being the most awesome fucking human being any citizen could ever have the privilege of voting for as their president. you lifted us up and you gave us our pride back. Goddess give us the strength to harness that belief in ourselves now and go forward."
Lyrics:
deferred gratification
you are my new best friend
i got kids and so do my friends
it’ll never be our world again
but look how weary the chief
it’ll be a relief
to someday hear her say
get it yourself
get it yourself
frozen soldier mannequin
in the back of the wax museum
on weekdays it’s only 5 bucks to get in
see him fighting a battle he’ll never win
and look how weary the chief
it’ll be a relief
to someday hear him say
get it yourself
get it yourself
deferred gratification
you are my new best friend
i vote in every election
hope someday these kids
are gonna help us win
but look how weary the chief
it’ll be a relief
to someday hear him say
get it yourself
get it yourself
