“Runnin’ On Empty” (2012)
(music by Jackson Browne)

Lookin’ out at the road rushin’ under my wheels..
Lookin’ back at the last 4 years and at all my shady deals..
In ’85 I was 24 organizing acorns in Chicago-South..
I got no record to run on now, I’m just runnin’ my mouth..

CHORUS:
Runnin’ on, Runnin’ On Empty…
Runnin’ on, with no teleprompter I’m runnin’ blind…
Runnin’ on, runnin’ guns into Mexico & Eric Holder might do time…

“Folks” gotta do what they can just to get by from day to day..
Cause I’m tryin’ hard to confuse them & increase their dependence & decay..
In ’05 I was 44 and voting “present” was my game..
I can’t milk “hope&change” no more, all I got is “COPE&BLAME” 😦

Runnin’ on, Runnin’ On Empty (in 2012)…
Runnin’ on, without my teleprompter I’m runnin’ blind…
Runnin’ on, givin’ into radical Islam watch me lead from behind…

Everyone I snow…
Everywhere I poll…
My sheeples need more freebies to believe..
I don’t care about anyone but me!
If it takes two terms…
Then I’ll wait my turn…
If I can redistribute all your wealth before I leave…..

Lookin’ out at the road rushin’ under my wheels..
I don’t know how to tell you all your Constitution I aim to repeal..
I look around for my friends like Bill Ayers & Reverend Wright to pull me through..
Better not question my record & past or NBC will demonize you 😦

Runnin on, Runnin’ On Empty…
Runnin’ on, with no teleprompter I’m runnin’ blind..
Runnin’ on, “hey you didn’t build that, come ask me for help next time”…

More stimulus really tempts me,
You know the way I can rob you all blind..
I’d love to stick around,
But my tee-time’s runnin’ behind….

REPEAT CHORUS UNTIL NOV 2012
