lyrics

January 21st, 2009
This weary world is at its worst
But folks are feelin fine
Cuz they voted in a winner
Tofill a loser’s shoes
But not everyone is happy
For one guy things just got kinda crappy
There’s a black man in the White House with the blues

He’s sittin with a forty at the foot of Lincoln’s bed
Bush’s bathrobe on his body, Clinton’s ice pack on his head
Avoidin’ his advisors ‘cuz he already knows the news
Two wars, a deep recession
And one four year long depression
For the black man in the White House with the blues

He says “African Americans have struggled centuries
To break out of their shackles and rise up from their knees
We’ve come a ways from maids and slaves but who would ever guess
We would top the hill with style but still be cleaning up some cracker’s mess?”
January 21, 2013 he sends a call across the mall as the red states all turned green and prepare for the apocalypse the pundits have predicted on FOXNews

And they're putting on their camo and they're hiding all their ammo from the black man in the White House with the blues

As McConnell starts to muster another four-year filibuster of the black man in the White House with the blues

Because he's told the white and shiny to place a wet one on the Hiney of the black man in the White House with the blues
