"50 Ways" song lyrics

Here are the lyrics to our "50 Ways to Help Obama" song, performed at the Tattered Cover during our first book signing and singing. 50 Ways to Help Obama “The problem is all about apathy”, she said to me The answer is easy if you take it logically You can become the activist you want to be There must be fifty ways to help Obama. She said it’s really not my habit to intrude But after eight years of George Bush our country is just screwed?” And you yourself, can find a way to help the new dude There must be fifty ways to help Obama. Fifty ways to help Obama. You just raise up your voice, Joyce Find a town hall, y’all You don’t need lots of dough, Flo, To change this country We’re all on this bus, Gus It’s time to discuss much Just think what could be, Lee And change this country. Ooo Make a YouTube, Rube Go door to door, Flor You don’t need no new pants, Lance Just listen to me Hop on the bus, Gus We’ve got to adjust much To shake up DC, Lee And change our country She said we’ve finally got a president with a brain And I know there is something we can do to help him right this train I said I appreciate that and would you please explain About the fifty ways She said why don’t we both just volunteer tonight And I believe in the morning you’ll begin to see the light And then we leafleted and I realized she probably was right There must be fifty ways to help Obama Fifty ways to help Obama You just pick up the phone, Joan Take back the flag, Mag, Just make a dent, Kent And change the country Let’s steer the bus, Gus It’s time to adjust much Just turn off the TV, Lee and change our country Get off the couch, slouch Convince a blue dog, Claude You don’t need your own show, Moe Just listen to me Ooh, It’s a new bus, Gus We don’t need to combust much Just go hug a tree, Lee And change the country
