Hudson Mohawke
Obama
[Verse 1]
When you were elected
The world cried for joy
We thought we had empowered
The truth-telling envoy

[Verse 2]
Now the news is you are spying
Executing without trial
Betraying virtues
Scarring closed the sky

[Verse 3]
Punishing the whistle blowers
Those who tell the truth
Do you recognise the yellow
Staring back, back at you?

[Chorus 1]
Obama
Obama
Obama
Obama

[Chorus 1]
Obama
Obama
Obama
Obama
[Chorus 2]
All the hope drained from your face
Like children, we believed
All the hope drained from your face
Obama
