They say that you can "almost see the wizard" because this is just the first step to repairing the US to its former glory.
That was my favorite quote the entire album. It always gave me goosebumps for some reason. The rest of the song will be short.
This part is taken from Barack's point of view:
tell rock'n'roll i'm alone again
(Congress is a group of people, a band, and now he is alone campaigning for the US presidency.
i wanna call the midwest home again
(He's a senator from Illinois. Illinois is in the midwest, generally middle class. He wants to made the middle class citizens better off.)
your time is passing
(Directly speaking to G. Bush.)
she never means never
(Directly speaking about H. Clinton and how she lied during the campaign.)
some of these years dont last forever
(G. Bush is running out of time.)
"ALPHAdog and OMEGAlomaniac"
This is a comparison between B. Obama and H. Clinton. Obama is the Alphadog, and Hillary is the megalomaniac. Also, the Greek reference to Alpha and Omega, stating that Obama is the first, and Hillary is second.
Phew! Great! That wraps it up. This is the only song i really enjoyed from the ChildrenFOB Mixtape i actually enjoyed.

To understand this song you have to think about the context which the album was released, which was around the time that the US election was heating up. Folie A Deux was even scheduled for November 4th, election day. The Hush Sound did a song on the album called "We Believe In (Barack Obama)." It could be said than, that the entire album was talking about the New Administration of the US, AKA Barack being elected.
"welcome to the new administration
you can almost see the wizard through the curtains"
Yes, it is a reference to the Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy finally finds the Great Wizard of Oz, who is the master of the land, she finds that it is just a figurehead controlled by a smaller, much more timid person.
Knowing that, the above quote stands for how when the New Administration (of the US) is put in place, that the citizens of the USA will finally be able to "almost see the wizard behind the curtain," as in: we will be in a less corrupt, more visible, government under Barack; as compared to the Old Administration, G. Bush Jr., which was nothing but a giant head controlled by unseen, uncontrollable forces. <Whew> They say that you can "almost see the wizard" because this is just the first step to repairing the US to its former glory.
