  • When you were elected
    The whole world cried for joy
    We thought we had empowered
    The truth-telling envoy

    Now the news is you are spying
    Executing without trial
    Betraying virtues
    Scarring closed the sky

    Punishing the whistle blowers
    Those who tell the truth
    Do you recognize the yellow
    Staring back, back at you?

    Obama, Obama
    Obama, Obama
    Obama, Obama
    Obama, Obama

    All the hope drained from your face
    Like children we believed
    All the hope drained from your face
