The Corrupt Bargain
And now, an explanation of the corrupt bargain
Which took place in the back halls of Washington
While no one was watching
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
John Calhoun says
"We need to find a scheme to keep the power
In the hands of the chosen few"
John Quincy Adams says
"If my dad was president
I should get to be president too"
Henry Clay says
"I'll make you president if you make me Secretary of State"
Alexis de Tocqueville said something in French
That none of us can translate
Woo!
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
All you educated people, you can talk of liberty
But do you really want the American people running their own country?
Ooh!
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
John Quincy Adams says
"If we steal the election then Jackson will surely cave"
John Calhoun says
"You can be president if you don't try to take away my slaves"
Henry Clay says
"You'll get Missouri 'cause I know how to play real politic"
James Madison said something prescient about this
But he was kind of a dick
Let's dance
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
You can compromise all you want
They're still drunk and smell like pee
Do you really want America run by a man from Tennessee?
John Quincy Adams!
The people are stupid!
Henry Clay!
They can all go rot!
John Calhoun!
They're lame!
Quincy Adams!
They suck!
Henry Clay!
Jackson's a total twat!
John Calhoun!
These guys are idiots but it's Jackson who's a real threat
I'm sure Michel Foucault would have an opinion
But he hasn't been born yet
Jackson is a loser
Jackson is a loser
Jackson is a loser
Jackson is a loser
I'm the president!
