   I haven't done this for a while, but with apologies to Barry McGuire,
   here I go again:
   Carter Adminstration, it is returnin'
       For Ronald Reagan, soon we'll all be yearniin'
       Gas at seven dollars, but there's no drillin'
       Can't afford home heating, soon we'll all be chillin'
       Windmills are turning, but all the lights are dimmin'
       But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
       Ah, you donât believe weâre on the eve of Obama.
       Donât you understand, the war will be endin'
       Relations with our allies, finally be mendin'
       Iraqis and Afganis, do their own defendin'
       Bin Ladin put in jail, trial date is pendin'
       But on Election Day, Al Qaeda celebratin'
       And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
       Ah, you donât believe weâre on the eve of Obama.
       Taxes going up, so is inflation
       Worst job market in a generation
       Put it all together, it's called stagflation
       Obama's got the answer, still more taxation
       College is now free, learn a new vocation
       Employed once again, after graduation
       but your new corporate job, lost to regulations
       And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
       Ah, you donât believe weâre on the eve of Obama.
       No more worries, not with free health care
       Free that is, once you've paid your fair share
       Everything's covered, even indigestion
       Second opinions, though, out of the question
       If you're not too old, you'll see the physician
       Maybe you still will, if you're a politician
       But otherwise, man, they're calling the mortician
       And⦠tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
       You donât believe weâre on the eve of Obama.
       Mmm, no, you donât believe weâre on the eve of Obama.
