I was free associating earlier and this came to me…revised lyrics to Warren Zevon’s Mohammed’s Radio, repitched for the Presidential Campaign.

My apology to the Z and Senator Obama…

The whole nation’s restless and we’ve got no place to go
Bush is always trying to sell us
Something he don’t really know
So our anger and resentment flow

But don’t it make you want to go and vote
All night long ?
Obama’s Radio
We heard the Big O singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Obama’s Radio

You know, the Senate’s got their problems too
They need to get it right with me and you
In walked Hillary Clinton and her face was all aglow
She’d been up all night listening to Obama’s Radio

Don’t it make you want to go and vote
All night long ?
Obama’s Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Obama’s Radio

Everybody’s desperate trying to make ends meet
Work all day, still can’t pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, our leadership has gone Wall Street

Don’t it make you want to go and vote
All night long? Obama’s Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Obama’s Radio

You’ve been up all night listening for his voice
Hoping that the righteous might just might just give us a choice
I heard McCain whispering to his file and rank
"Be watchful for Obama’s bank"

Don’t it make you want to go and vote
All night long? Obama’s Radio
