      cadence.

      2009

      WHAT A GLORIOUS TIME TO BE ALIVE!

      I've seen the revolution and it was televised

      And even more to my surprise

      A stream of water running from my eyes

      I'm not ashamed to tell this story

      'Cause right then I knew, they had seen the glory

      Cleansing my eyes giving me clearer vision

      All the while wondering how America came to this decision

      Surely in the past, it was a job for John Wayne

      Can he jump tall buildings, is he a bird or a plane

      Never thought I'd live to see it, I'm happy to say Yes I Can!

      See an extraordinary resurrection of an ordinary man

      Better than walking on water, better than Count Basie's band

      The high from my father's dreams gave me the audacity of hope

      No more excuses, racism or abuses, polluting our body with dope

      Let's handle our business... children, Mr. & the Mrs.

      Live your best life, single, married, gay, husband or wife

      Now is the time we've been waiting for

      So don't act like you don't want it no more

      And for those of you who don't have a clue

      Wake-up to the reality the dream has come true!

      WHEN THE AUDACITY OF HOPE COMES BACK TO HAUNT!

      Everybody owns him and has agendas for him to flaunt

      Democrats say bend to the left, republicans insist, better get it right, so what do you want?

      The feminists won't have it, not enough women in the cabinet; he's getting a dog and not a cat

      What do you animal lovers think about that?

      Palestinians are launching rockets like they think it's hip

      Israelis bomb the life out of the Gaza Strip

      White folks reached out and decided to vote him in

      We're all looking for jobs not taken by the Mexicans

      He's got to fix the economy... he's got to end the war

      Don't forget about the seniors, the soldiers and the poor

      Foreigners out front protesting, before he even got sworn in

      Gays had their lips poked out 'cause he picked Rick Warren

      Black folks had a dream to keep hope alive

      Been waiting for a change since 1965

      Hope is living in all of us and things just ain't the same

      We know this time the hunter won't be captured by the game

      Jeremiah was a bull-frog; he wasn't a friend of mine

      Never understood his words in church but he had a mighty fine wine

      It seems like those who supported him, want their own needs met

      Harass your local lawmakers, they haven't passed the stimulus bill yet

      He's our Commander In Chief, well informed from the briefs, that there's so much more work left to do!

      So give him a chance, get his name right if you can that's Mr. President ...or President Obama to you

      THE ROAD TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY

      Will run from the freeway to the highway

      Before it comes around my way

      Hold-on to your house, your car and your pay

      Recession could end this year, Fed Chief say

      Obama's call for action, balances optimism with urgency

      Now is the time to invest in education, health-care and energy

      Just when I thought the slow-down was harmless

      I watched the joint session of congress

      Stimulus plan, bank bailout proposal and a housing program, great

      Health-care reform can-not, must-not and will-not...wait

      Over are the CEOs in flight via corporate jet

      Firing good employees, they hadn't even met

      The answers to the crisis are not beyond our reach

      They exist in the imaginations, of people who teach

      By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will finally end

      We will rebuild our army, treasury and the economy

      The war on terrorism, is still out there to win

      Recession, depression are one of the same

      Did we spend too much money chasing Saddam Hussein?

      There's a new Pres in town... starting one trillion dollars down, says he's going to change the whole world around

      Now, it won't be easy, couldn't imagine it being this hard

      Should I invest my little money, or bury it in the back yard?

      RAGE ABOUT AIG CONTINUES TO SWELL

      Rage at AIG swells as bonuses are too big to believe

      Chief Exec says payments were pledged before bailouts received

      His employees specialized in revenue, billion dollar players

      Revenue and value needed to repay US taxpayers

      Liddy says his competition wants to take his most talented leaders

      Moe, Larry and Curly... why not Leave-It to Beaver?

      Must be nice to run a bank or insurance company too big to fail

      You can get stimulus money from the tax payers to save your tail

      Maybe South Carolina's Gov Mark Sanford is misunderstood

      He wants to redirect $700 million from the schools in the 'hood

      Republican Governors say no to the cash, but then talk is cheap

      They just say no to everything after the Obama democratic sweep

      Frugal is the new fabulous, the glamorous rave

      Brown-bagging is cool, Tupperware lunch in the microwave

      President Obama is no socialist, surely we all know that

      Although, socialism may be poised, for a new comeback

      The Government can run things, without special interest or pork

      For 42 cent, Post-office gets my letter there next-day, in New York

      The task of salvaging a capitalist society, intent on destroying itself

      When 5 percent of the population controls 85 percent of the wealth

      Is inherited by our Commander In Chief, let's pray he stays in good health
