A Day at the White House (Cast Album)
What Would George Washington Think?
JORDEN
What would George Washington think
To see us today on the brink?
When those we elected
Seem specifically selected
Based on how well they lie, cheat and drink
JESSICA
Now what would honest Abe say
Of a government gone so far astray?
There's a class of nobility
We re-elect 'til senility
With the power to raise their own pay
JORDEN & JESSICA
Oh, those dreams and beliefs that they fought for
In those days of rebellion and strife
Their lofty ideals
Determination of steel
Forged the American way of life
The American way
The American way of life
JESSICA
Could Jefferson do anything but laugh
At each current misstatement and gaffe
Would he spin in his grave
At the vision he gave
Now filled with corruption and graft?
JORDEN & JESSICA
Oh, those dreams and beliefs that they fought for
In those days of rebellion and strife
Our faith in the spineless
Bureaucracy mindless
To bankrupt the American way of life
The American way
The American way of life
Is there anything brave men could say
After two hundred years of decay?
Yet with each administration
We hope for salvation
And for someone to show us the way
For someone to show us the way
What would George Washington think
To see us today on the brink?
When those we elected
Seem specifically selected
Based on how well they lie, cheat and drink
JESSICA
Now what would honest Abe say
Of a government gone so far astray?
There's a class of nobility
We re-elect 'til senility
With the power to raise their own pay
JORDEN & JESSICA
Oh, those dreams and beliefs that they fought for
In those days of rebellion and strife
Their lofty ideals
Determination of steel
Forged the American way of life
The American way
The American way of life
JESSICA
Could Jefferson do anything but laugh
At each current misstatement and gaffe
Would he spin in his grave
At the vision he gave
Now filled with corruption and graft?
JORDEN & JESSICA
Oh, those dreams and beliefs that they fought for
In those days of rebellion and strife
Our faith in the spineless
Bureaucracy mindless
To bankrupt the American way of life
The American way
The American way of life
Is there anything brave men could say
After two hundred years of decay?
Yet with each administration
We hope for salvation
And for someone to show us the way
For someone to show us the way
