Lyrics

Washington crossed the Delaware River Washington acted like a rock star Washington made America deliver Washington tried to be a rock star But all the fame that he had won It wasn't really any fun Soon the people started turning Whoa-oa-oa That boy who couldn't tell a lie Two terms and then he said goodbye Georgie went back to Mount Vernon WHAAAAAAAOW! Why don't you just shoot me in the head 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first rank (spoken) Ladies and Gentlemen, Governor Andrew JACKSON! Yea-ea! That's right, motherfuckers. Jackson's back. One-two-three... (sung) John Adams tried to be an American Idol Jefferson tried to be a rock star Madison tried to make the Presidency vital And James Monroe was a douchebag The story always ends the same It's hard to handle all that fame You don't really have it in you Whoa-oa-oa There's no place in Democracy For your brand of Aristocracy Take that shit back to Virginia (Or Massachusetts Be-yotch!) Why don't you just shoot me in the head 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first rank [BAND] You can't just be a founding father When everybody wants you to be their father You can't just be a founding father When everybody needs you to be their father [JACKSON]     Would you like to see my stimulus package?   I'm gonna fill you With Popula-jizz-m! [ALL] Why don't you just shoot me in the head? 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first- Why don't you just shoot me in the head? 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first-   Why don't you just shoot me in the head? 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first- You can't just be a founding father       When everybody wants you to be their father       You can't just be a founding father       When everybody needs you to be their father                 Whoa-oa-oa One all man band can take its toll   The people push it to unfold   The series equals a new government   Whoa-oa-oa [ALL] Why don't you just shoot me in the head? 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first- Why don't you just shoot me in the head? 'Cause you know I'd be better off dead If there's really no place in America For a celebrity of the first rank
