about

A spoof of Alice in Chain's 'Angry Chair' positing the senile ramblings of a hallucinating Clint Eastwood delusionally talking to an invisible Obama in a chair at the Republican National Convention in August of 2012. This was played on The Hour of Slack syndicated Subgenius radio show. For more information on Subgenius go to www.subgenius.com

lyrics

Talking to an empty chair
Romney sucks, but I don't care
Wonder what it's doing there

What do I see 'cross the way?, hey
Go ahead now, make my day, ah
Barack's not there, I'm afraid, aw
Can almost make out his face, aw yeah

Kind of dumb, but I don't care
Republicans are everywhere
Staring at the empty chair

Maybe I made a mistake, hey
Dark hair has now turned to gray, oh
This whole routine's a mistake, hey
Phony and stupid and fake, oh

I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...

Lost my mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind, I-I-I...

Get off my lawn, go away, hey
I'm really old, look away, oh
Barack's not there anyway, hey

*** guitar solo

Senility is not a phase
Old folks home's is where I'll graze
Hollywood is far away

Kind of think my brain is fried, hey
News Pundits saying I died, oh
Feel kind of stupid inside, hey
Roger Ebert almost cried, aww

I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...

Lost my mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I...
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind, I-I-I...
