An Ode to Obama (Capitalist Hero)

[CartCollector]

As soon as you're sworn in they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the support's so low you can do nothing at all
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

So you bail out Wall Street and you bail out their banks
But in the end you don't get any thanks
And you get called a socialist by a bunch of cranks
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

So you try to reach out and to compromise
But all hope of real change gets thrown to the skies
And your supporters claim your campaign was all lies
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

So you send out more troops to fight Bush's war
But they think your foreign policy makes you a whore
By the way you bowed down to some emperor
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

So you think that you can reform health care
But as soon as you try they start a Red Scare
And in the House and Senate the bill gets ensnared
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

They will do some reforms they're telling you now
But it has to be the way that they say how
How's that hopey-changey thing working out now?
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

So you think really fast and come up with a plan
If you're without insurance you're a wanted man!
It passes Congress but it gets you no fans
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

After this they call you a socialist still
Can't they see who's really helped by this bill?
Those without insurance don't even get nil
A capitalist hero is something to be
A capitalist hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero join the Tea Party
If you want to be a hero join the Tea Party

Who made this version of Lennon's Working Class hero song?

[CartCollector]

I did. It's a CartCollector original. My intent was to make it sound like Obama isn't really a 'working class hero' but someone who wants to be a 'capitalist hero' but keeps getting bad press for his efforts. You can contribute if you want.

That's actually pretty cool.
