When you were elected
The whole world cried for joy
We thought we had empowered
The truth-telling envoy

Now the news is you are spying
Executing without trial
Betraying virtues
Scarring closed the sky

Punishing the whistle blowers
Those who tell the truth
Do you recognize the yellow
Staring back, back at you?

Obama, Obama
Obama, Obama
Obama, Obama
Obama, Obama

All the hope drained from your face
Like children we believed
All the hope drained from your face
Obama, Obama

[Verse 1]
When you were elected
The world cried for joy
We thought we had empowered
The truth-telling envoy

[Verse 2]
Now the news is you are spying
Executing without trial
Betraying virtues
Scarring closed the sky

[Verse 3]
Punishing the whistle blowers
Those who tell the truth
Do you recognise the yellow
Staring back, back at you?

[Chorus 1]
Obama
Obama
Obama
Obama

[Chorus 2]
All the hope drained from your face
Like children, we believed
All the hope drained from your face
Obama
Obama
