Dear John, You're Just Not Change Enough.

[Blue State Bandit]

So I was yelling at my inter-tubes machine last night when I got home from work, and it seemed to rhyme. So I thought I would share it with you good folks. It is write in a hip-hop lyric format. So feel the beat, and enjoy.


Dear John,

We’re sorry.
Your just not change enough.

Ok. We get it ...
You’re a Maverick.
But you’re bringing the wrong stuff.

You had your shot,
You blew it.
It’s time to hang it up.

'Cause thanks to you,
And your cronies,
More Americans must rattle the cup.


(imagin a short sampled brass phrase scratched to taste and follow the jump)



Back in the day,
You say,
You bucked the corrupt cabal.

Now it’s sad,
To see,
The great straight shooter fall.

You shoot from the hip.
So did Bush,
Now see where we at?

Our people suffer,
Cause your buddies,
Run the show like they’re on crack.




So it’s time for change,
And that Barack,
We’re giving him the ball.

We’re votin’ hope,
And justice,
To arrest our country’s fall.

Ok. We get it,
You’re different,
We know you got the gall.

But your just not change enough,
And that just ain’t change
At all.




P.S.
Remember last night, when you were talking about Pakistan, the "Failed State"?
You said "I won’t repeat the mistake that I regret enormously", after the Soviet invasion. "...we washed our hands of the region, and the result was the Taliban and al-Qaeda".

Well just in case you forgot...
You already did.
Now it's our turn.

Peace,
The Blue State Bandit.
