    Default When the President talks to God

    I heard this song performed by Bright Eyes on Leno tonight. Has anyone else heard this song?

    BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

    "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

    I doubt it

    A slip of the tongue...

    I don't have a problem with Conor Oberst's politics, but his music puts me to sleep.

    Plus the asshole insulted the entire state of Texas: "Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, it seems, isn't a fan of Texas. He startled a sold-out audience at the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth by slurring, "I don't know if you know this, but I hate your fucking state. I'd put a fucking gun to my head before I'd live in your state." Must have been kidding. Nah. If you went to see him, you weren't a "normal Texan," he continued, because "if you were a normal Texan, you'd probably be roping steers and raping Indians." <from the Dallas Morning News>

    So while yes, I do think the president is an idiot, so, too, is Oberst.

    Considering Oberst is from Nebraska, accusing residents of a state not unlike his own of "roping steers and raping Indians" is really the pot calling the kettle black. Then again, most Nebraskans wouldn't exactly consider Oberst, well....normal.

    Word was, he was really wasted at that concert, as he is at most of his concerts.


    And yeah, he puts me to sleep too.

    I'm not a fan of Bright Eyes at all, most of that whiny emo crapola makes me retch. That being said, I caught the "performance" on Leno as well, since I flipped it on to watch Conan afterwards. It wasn't even a song really, just a few strummed chords and him talking the words. I guess what surprised me the most was that this was on Jay Leno. I thought it a bit radical for such a mainstream show. If it had been on Conan, or Carson I probably wouldn't have blinked an eye. There was definitely a section of the crowd cheering at the lyrics, but I was quite surprised no one booed given the current partisan climate. Leno has always seemed like the far more "middle-america family friendly" of the various late-night shows.

    I'm not so worried about the President speaking to God, I worry more when God speaks to the President!

    The fact that he says "God " told him to run for President and to start a war that has killed hundreds of thousands thus far is disturbing ...... to put it mildly.

    I am not too familar with the band but great lyrics !
    Example of discrimination (Imho):

    the only prudent way to treat Islamics in the US and western europe today is along the same vein as Russians and Eastern Europeans were treated during the 'cold war' days - with some degree of suspicion warranted until proven otherwise !
