Obama That I Used To Know - Gotye Parody
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
(Barack Obama speaking) What began as a whisper
has now swelled to a chorus that cannot be ignored (applause)
that will not be deterred (applause cont'd)
that will ring out across this land (applause cont'd)
(music begins)
as a hymn that will heal this nation (applause cont'd)
repair this world (applause cont'd)
and make this time different than all the rest (applause cont'd)
Yes. We. Can. (thunderous applause)
(Male) Now and then
I think of that election day, November
When you won I felt so happy I could die
Chugged a fifth, paraded in the street
And I thanked god that Palin wasn't Veep
It felt like change
and it's a hope I still remember
(music)
(Barack Obama) Change will not come
if we wait for some other person
or if we wait for some other time
We are the ones we've been waiting for (mild applause)
We are the change that we seek (thunderous applause)
(Male) You can get addicted to a certain kind of message
Like this is change we can believe in
'yes we can'
But college ended
had to pay my rent
At least you're the first gay president
But the change I got
was that I moved in with my mother
Because you won and then you cut me off
Now your speeches
never soar as high as unemployment
You took Obamacare so far
but you left me like a dog
strapped on Romney's car
Even the shirt that was on my back
is owned by China
or being arbitraged by Goldman Sachs
Just send in
a Predator drone
Cuz now you're not
Obama that I used to know
(music)
Now you're not Obama that I used to know
(music)
Now I need
Obama that I used to know
(music)
(music)
(music)
(Female) Sometimes I think
that Peace Prize winners shouldn't have a kill list
But you dumped Bin Laden in the sea
so maybe it's all good
Said you'd rouse my economy
But your big package didn't stimulate me
Still my 'American idol' though
When you sang 'I'm so in love with you"
Obama that I used to know!
(Together) But you won and then you cut me off
Made out like you'd close Guantanamo
and we got nothing
Relocation shouldn't be that hard
Just strap the prisoners in on top of Romney's car
No I don't need you to legalize
Just keep the feds away
from folks like you when you were younger
There's nothing that you didn't ***
But now that's just Obama that I used to know
(Female) Obama
(Male) That I used to know
(Female) Obama
(Male) That I used to know
(Female) Obama
(Male) That I used to know
(Male) In 2012 I need
(Together) Obama that I used to know
(music)
(Barack Obama) He's a ***
