    Fun & Nonsense with Johnny Nash

    Face in the Crowd thinks we need a song to begin the week. He suggested one of my favorite songs of all time to serve as the template. Once he suggested it I could not get it out of my head.  Feel free to join in and become a song writer.

    I can see clearly now that w's gone
    We can see all obstacles in our way
    Gone is the Darth Vader who made us blind
    Its gonna be a bright bright sun shiny day

    I think we can make it now, that Bush has gone
    And the bad vibes have all disappeared
    Here is the saner course we've been waiting for
    Its gonna be a new and  bright sun shiny day
                           
    Look all around, there's nothin but good guys
    Look straight ahead, nothin but good guys

    I can see  all the  neocons are gone
    No more lyin repubs are in control
    They are all cryin that they count no more
    Its gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

    We can get better now that w's gone
    We can see our new leader most every day
    Now it seems nothin bad is in our way
    Its gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

    Look all around there's nothing but blue states
    Look straight ahead, nothin but blue states

    We have Barack in charge, and Bush has gone
    We now have Biden and the sneers have all disappeared
    Grandma Pelosi has the House all cleaned
    We're gonna sail a bright and new sunshiny wave
