Song for the coming campaign

Thinking about the 2012 presidential election, I think I came upon the perfect song to capture the likely theme.
From Johnny Hates Jazz, it's "Shattered Dreams."


I thought about doing an Obama parody based on the song, but the lyrics sum up the unhappiness of both parties with the present administration.
The left had great hopes for what Obama could do.
He's failed.
The right doesn't want to see more shattered dreams.
See for yourself.

So much for your promises They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you who would stand by my side
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said you'd die for me
Woke up to reality And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you who would do me no wrong
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who said you'd die for love
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said you'd die for me
