John Elliott - I Still Like Obama Lyrics

I still like Obama
Even though I know now he was not as good as we thought he was
In fact, he was not good at all
But I still like Obama
I still like Obama 'cause I still wanna believe in hope and that we can be
Better than we are, and better than we were, and better than Obama turned out to be
We can change, we can be anything we wanna be
So I still like Obama even though he killed civilians with drones
And expanded the surveillance state and infringed upon our freedoms
He looked so good on a screen
Maybe that's all we want, maybe that's all we need, maybe that's all we want
I don't know I'm just trying to be the best me I can be
And I gotta believe that so is Obama
So I still like Obama and I don't think that he is to blame for what happened after him
Because we are responsible for our reactions to whatever happens
We are adults and we're responsible
We are adults are we're responsible
Some of us are children but the rest of us are not
And we need to be who we are, we need to be who we are
So I still like Obama
I listened to the entirety of his podcast with Bruce Springsteen
And I know I am precisely the target audience
And I recognize it had a lot of problems
Because two wealthy members of the elite, regardless of their backgrounds
Cannot identify with being outsiders
But I still liked the podcast
And I still like Bruce Springsteen
And I...I...I...
Despite all that has happened since
And all that has not happened yet
And everything I've grown to understand about politics and humanity
I...I...I...I still like Obama
