Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say George Washington's yielding his power and stepping away
Is that true?
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
I'm perplexed
Are they goin' to keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
If so, who's next?
There's nobody else in their country who looms quite as large
[Verse 2]
John Adams?
I know him, that can't be
[Verse 3]
That's that little guy who spoke to me all those years ago
What was it, eighty-five?
That poor man, they're goin' to eat him alive
Oceans rise, empires fall
Next to Washington, they all look small
All alone, watch them run
They will tear each other into pieces
Jesus Christ, this will be fun
[Outro]
Da-da-da-dat-da, dat-da-da-da-da-aye-ya-da
Da-da-dat-dat-da-ya-da
"President John Adams"
Good luck
