The Lyrics
"I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above the world, he's sort of God," said Newsweek editor Evan Thomas. This is more than just the media's adoration of the President carried to extremes. Perhaps the cat is finally out of the bag concerning the President's real ambition.
Now I'm the boss of America
I do the White House stuff
But now I pout 'cause I've found out
That it just isn't enough
I wanna be the world's head honcho
And have them bow to me
I'll make them dance like I did in France
And at the gate in Germany
Oh, Hail Barack! Can't wait to hear them talk!
I am the Chosen One, Favorite Son, woo-hoo
I've rehearsed - I always blame the U.S. first
To run the world is what I want to do
I want to run the universe
And if you think that's odd
The brilliant geek who runs Newsweek
Has compared me to God
America's such a tiny place
It's small and "downright mean"
But what wil they say upon that day
That Michelle becomes their queen?
Oh. O-Ba-Ma! I'm gonna be the High Llama!
I've found my station - I've above the nation, true!
It's my thing - The media has made me King
To run the world is what I want to do
I do the White House stuff
But now I pout 'cause I've found out
That it just isn't enough
I wanna be the world's head honcho
And have them bow to me
I'll make them dance like I did in France
And at the gate in Germany
Oh, Hail Barack! Can't wait to hear them talk!
I am the Chosen One, Favorite Son, woo-hoo
I've rehearsed - I always blame the U.S. first
To run the world is what I want to do
I want to run the universe
And if you think that's odd
The brilliant geek who runs Newsweek
Has compared me to God
America's such a tiny place
It's small and "downright mean"
But what wil they say upon that day
That Michelle becomes their queen?
Oh. O-Ba-Ma! I'm gonna be the High Llama!
I've found my station - I've above the nation, true!
It's my thing - The media has made me King
To run the world is what I want to do
Perhaps "Trusssst In Me" from the Jungle Book would have been an equally appropriate selection. ;D
