(now)'When the President Talks to God' on Leno (now, ) (now)


Posted by Evan on May 4, 2005 @ 11:16AM

"When the president talks to God/Are the conversations brief or long?/Does he ask to rape our women's' rights/And send poor farm kids off to die?/Does God suggest an oil hike/When the president talks to God?" He may not be Dylan but Conor Oberst ("Bright Eyes") may be the best we've got.

Those are the opening lyrics of a song he did on the Tonight Show earlier this week (thanks Marc). Whether Jay Leno's doing his best to compensate for his excellent job stumping for the Guvernator or whether Oberst just pulled the switcheroo and submitted a different song remains to be seen.

Still, if you're a Bright Eyes fan you may want to buy tickets to a show -- since I doubt he'll be on the tube anytime soon. Watch a Bright Eyes video here and find out more about him here. The rest of the lyrics courtesy of Pitviper at Daily Kos:

"When the President Talks to God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it
