Lyrics:
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You’ve been out losing races for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you’ve got your reasons
But I wish you would keep them
To yourself and just step down

Well you tried to play the race card
But you’re not the hating kind
And that plagiarism line just never worked
Now it seems you got some delegates
And you’ll use them if you’re able
But it only makes you look like a jerk

Desperado, oh, you ain’t getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger, and vanity drives you now
And winning, oh winning, well that’s just some people talking
Cause losing is all that you are ever gonna know

Don’t your cheeks get sore from grinning all the time
And the people crowd around the other guy
And it’s hard to see just why you don’t go away
You’re stooping to the lowest lows
And you can’t seem to keep your big mouth closed these days

Desperado, why don’t you see what you’re doing?
The road to your ruin is the only path you’ve got
You may be losing, but there’s always tomorrow
You can save all that sorrow, for your Oprah guest spot

Obama and Clinton: Breaking Us In Two

Mashup of CNN Texas Debate footage featuring Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton featuring a parody of Joe Jackson’s Breaking Us In Two.

Performed by: Dave Wildman
Lyrics: Dave Wildman
Video footage: CNN

Breaking us in Two:

Do you need a soundbite for the news?
Don’t you feel like when we fight it breaks the party in two?
All your staring makes me nervous and that pantsuit makes you look huge
Always something breaking us in two

You and I could never run as one
But don’t you think you tried and cried and maybe your race is run?
why does what I”m saying hurt you? I only said that you were through
Always something breaking us in two

Bridge
They say two democrats should run as one
But we’ll fight in states both red and blue
Your people say you need to win just one
We’ll it’s oh so nice to take advice from such deluded fools

Could we be much closer if we tried?
I could reach across and poke my finger in your eye
Maybe we could last one more debate maybe then we’d see right through
Always something breaking us in two

Kucinich Calls for Impeachment: Offending Words

Kucinich causes House floor fuss in announcing Bush impeachment drive:

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich caused a stink on the House of Representatives floor this morning during a speech where he announced he’ll introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush on Monday, Jan. 28, the day Bush delivers his State of the Union speech.

“We already know the State of the Union,” Kucinich says in his speech. “It’s a lie.”

Republicans objected to Kucinich’s statements, and the Cleveland congressman returned to the floor a few minutes later to withdraw his “offending words.”

The Too Many Candidate Blues

The Too Many Candidate Blues

Woke up this mornin’
I turned on the tube
Saw 10 white guys in black suits
All lookin’ like rich boobs

I got the too many candidate blues

They said they was runnin’
To be our president
There’s so many I’m hopin’
Some’ll give up for lent

I got the too many candidate blues
