I'm either a tortured genius or a talentless hack.
Story behind the song
Disclaimer: This is not an endorsement of either John McCain or Barack Obama. I wouldn't vote for either one of 'em, this is just a joke.
Recently Gretchen Wilson was sued by The Black Crowes because of the melody of one of her songs was very similar to "Jealous Again". Listening to her song, I noticed the chorus ended very similar to J.J. Cale's "Cocaine". It ends "I work hard, I work hard, I work hard, I play harder". John Rich was a co-writer on that song. The next day I saw an article saying John Rich had written and recorded a campaign song for John McCain, which made me wonder if he had ripped off another classic rock song. Then I realized, "Cocaine" was the perfect one to steal from again. So I re-wrote "Cocaine" the way I imagined John Rich would have wrote it.
Lyrics
If you're gonna go vote
You got to vote for John...McCain
If you wanna stay in
Stay in Iraq...McCain
He don't lie, he don't lie, he don't lie...McCain
It'll be bad news
If you vote for blues...McCain (Blues = Democrats)
He's not yet done
Not too old to run...McCain
He won't die, he won't die, he won't die...McCain
When the vote is done
You'll see that he won...McCain
Don't forget this fact
Obama is black, not...McCain
Yes he's white, he is white, he is white...McCain
