I’ve seen the light at end the of our Tunnel of National Suffering, and that Light IS Barack Obama. As a result of my conversion to Obama, yesterday I went and re-wrote the words to John Lennon’s hit song “Imagine”, as a tribute to Barack Obama. The tune remains the same, it goes first verse, second verse, chorus, third verse, 2nd chorus just like the original by John Lennon.
When I get back from vacation, I’ll record my Imagine Obama ’08 Tribute and post it on Youtube – but now, here are the lyrics for “Imagine: Obama ’08”:
Imagine hopey-changey
it’s easy if you try
The people all around us
Redistribute your pie
Imagine all the hippies
Living off the stateImagine all our buddies
From Syria and Iran
We all get together
To sing and all hold hands
Imagine all the people
Forced to live in “peace”You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m filled with hope for change
I hope someday you’ll join me
and there will be hopey-changeImagine no possessions
No more SUVs
No need to use the AC
Free pie for you and me
Imagine all the people
saving polar bearsYou may say I’m a commie
But I know what’s best for you
I know someday you’ll join us
Because we’ll just force you to
Seeing the light has been a wonderful, enlightening experience for me. Having unquestionable moral authority is an awesome feeling.
Brilliant! I laughed ’til I cried.
You made me very happy.
That is hilarious.
Excellent.
Actually we just used these lyrics in an English class assignment I helped my granddaughter out with. She had to pick a song and interpret the lyrics….You’all would’ve been proud of me. I hardly even mentioned that this was a lyrical interpretation of the communist manifesto written by a socialist fellow traveler. I just stuck with the standard utopian ‘one world’ tripe. Silky ponies and fuzzy bunnies. No religious strife, no nationalistic turmoil, no greed and separation of economic classes. All the standard stuff that the schools want to hear nowadays.
Of course, I got a little deeper. I couldn’t help myself. She certainly wouldn’t get an alternate take on this from the school.
I actually caught myself swaying back and forth as I sang that.
Goes well with this:
Obama is our shepherd
We shall not want
He maketh the Jew and the Arab to lie down together in green pastures
With his blackness, he restoreth our soul
He guides us in the path of socialism for his power’s sake
Even though we walk through valley of the Republicans
We will fear no evil
For he is with us
His hope and his change, they comfort us
He prepares a vegetarian table before us
In the presence of our meat-eating, Gaia-consuming enemies
He annoints our vehicles with substitutes for oil
Our sippy cups overflow
Surely hopeiosity and changiness will follow us all the days of his life
And we will dwell in the administration of the Lightworker
Forever
I wonder if those on the left will recognize it as snark, or will they praise it as a hymn to their savior?
If you’re bringing audio or video recording equipment to California, then we should get three or four of us to do a good acapella rendition of this. 🙂
You are a MESS.
Heh. Heh-heh.
Imagine all the people
saving polar bears-youuuuuuuuuuuew,ew,ew…
Does David Archuleta know about this?
