President Talks To God
Bright Eyes sang this on the Tonight Show.
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 recommendsWhen 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 GodWhen 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
Thanks Dr Bev!

Wowser! That’s a great one. Who is Bright Eyes and did he/she really sing this? Wow. What kind of response did it get? Just wondering. I hope everyone laughed heartily then cried when they realized the truth. Thanks for posting this.
Bright Eyes is a he. His name is Conor Oberst, and he is amazing. He recently released two simultaneous CD’s, and I bought them both: an acoustic-oriented CD (featuring backup vocals from Emmylou Harris) called “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning,” and a more electric CD called “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn.” You can read more about him at

That site includes a link to a free iTunes download of the song “When the President Talks to God.”
Thanks, Darrell. I have visited that link, downloaded both iTunes and the song, but, seems I do not have the bandwidth with the dial-up to acually listen to it. My dish antenna reception has been obscured by new foliage and tree growth. Guess I ‘ll have to wait until winter. I cannot seem to make myself cut down healthy trees just for my convenience.
