The National band and Chris Cornell opened for Obama at the Living History Farms in 2012. The Living History Farms is across the street from the Machine Shed Restaurant where Trump was yesterday. Obama's campaign song called 'Signs of Hope and Change' is set to The National's song called "Fake Empire"

Fake Empire Lyrics
Lyrics
Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade
And take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Tiptoe through our shiny city
With our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice
Bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Turn the light out, say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
