I came up with this tonight when my Mac's iTunes hit a streak of Big Country while in DJ/shuffle mode. The original song can be heard at the link above.

(Obama’s) Chance – with apologies to Big Country and Scott Adamson (R.I.P.)
To the tune of Big Country’s “Chance”

All the rain came down
On a cold old town
As he carried you away
From the Clintons’ hands
That always seemed like fists
Reaching out to ask for pay

He came like a hero from the Senate floor
With “Hope” and “Change” as gifts
But the only “change” you ever saw
Were the debts he left you with

Chorus:
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Now the tax hangs so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were free
Because you played chance with the country’s finance
And the price is far too long

Chorus: (Repeat 2X)
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

This is aimed more at the Dim-o-crats who are having buyers' remorse right about now...
