“Sumthin’” is a song from the perspective of the US President. This was Barack Obama at the time of the song’s release, but the song is not so much a critique of him in particular as of the presidency in general—how its holders tend to burnish their image and attempt grandiose plans, rather than doi...
Sumthin’ Lyrics
Green means "Time to go"
Go, move over, bro
You're moving way too slow
Maybe you should know
I'm the leader of the western world
The big decider in the neighborhood
I'm floating hope on an ocean of need
I'm Santa Claus, so look under your tree
I got something for everybody
Something for everybody
All right
Red says, "Time to stop"
Stop the giving up
Run, now ditch the walk
Next, get back on top
I'm here to fix it so it runs like new
But the bankers tell me, "No can do"
I'm facing problems way beyond control
I'm talking smooth, but I'm deep in the hole
Now, tell me what I say
Sounds like a line
Trust me, every word is true
Just don't ask me why
I got something for everybody
Something for everybody
Something for everybody
Something for everybody
All right
Psycho pundits keep on fanning the fire
Spin the story, then they call me a liar
Telling me how I should do my job
Dropping crumbs for the angry mob
Al-Qaeda and the Taliban
Fundamentally way out of hand
I keep trying to turn it all around
But the New World Order wants to take me down
They got something for everybody
Something for everybody
Something for everybody
Something for everybody
All right
Something for everybody
Something
