Bust Your Windows... the Remix

This is an attempt to take a song I like and turn it political. I'd really like to hear your thoughts... I didn't use the instrumental and I hope it doesn't get too hard, but it was easier for me to sing along while her words were in the background. Don't forget to press play!

{{Disclaimer: The end won't be a perfect match (at all), but you get the point.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

McCain and Palin go too far
And they won’t heal my country’s fragile heart
Four hundred years have caused some ugly scars
But they don’t seem to really get that part

McCain and Palin go too far
After the ratings fell, he chose her
Thought it would make things somehow take a turn
I’m glad he did cuz maybe now they’ll learn

I must admit it helped a little bit
At first they loved her now she’s stepped in sh*t
Forever captured in those SNL skits
But I’m glad they see what happens when

You see they can’t just rile up people’s feelings
Link him to terrorists and claim unfair treatment
When Lewis cautions that they play with fire
All Obama does is touch and inspire
Ha ha ha ha ha

McCain and Palin go too far
Had bad intentions from the very start
Reports of “kill him” shade all their talks
These tricks a common, right wing art

McCain and Palin go too far
Beliefs and morals aren’t addressed at all
Roles reversed it would be no contest
It should be clear Obama is the best

Oooh ahhh…
I must admit some worry, just a bit
To hear the hatred that some people vent
This racial tension has built up over years
And now they are just feeding into those fears

You see they can’t appreciate the meaning
He gives us hope for change, he’s unyielding
To threats and scheme and those with words unkind
Let’s take a stand this Obama’s time

But, but but but no no no nooo…
This is no comfort to my country’s heart
Split down the middle causing us so much pain
I can’t describe how I long for the day

OOohhh But until… (but until)
Eleven four (eleven four)
When we all stand together
cast our vote (cast our vote)

And the polls close, what a day

I can’t wait

But until… (but until)
Eleven four (eleven four)
When we all stand together
cast our vote (cast our vote)


And the polls close, what a day

I can’t wait

….

McCain and Palin go too far
