Precedent for President You set the precedent for president You set the tone for all to come How to veto, what to sign How to keep the Veep in line When to bargain, when to fight How to wear a wig just right. Washington(spoken): I did look pretty good, didn t I? You set the precedent for president You set the tone for all to come How to nuance and finesse An inaugural address The job s tiring and it s tough
And so two terms are enough Just say no to permanent alliances Don t make treaties that can lead you into war Just say yes To politic neutrality And then settle back and have another s more! You set the precedent for president You set the tone for all to come How to veto, what to sign How to keep the Veep in line When to bargain, when to fight How to wear a wig just right. How to nuance and finesse An inaugural address The job s tiring and it s tough And so two terms are enough You set the precedent for president.

Manifest Destiny We bought Louisiana In eighteen hundred three Expanded to the Rockies And that is fine with me. And then we annexed Texas Just before Polk s term began And when he entered office He d come up with a plan Sea to sea It s called manifest destiny And sea to sea We are movin west Don t ask if it s best Manifest destiny So first Polk signed a treaty That won us the northwest The brits got all the cold parts And we took all the rest Polk then stirred up some trouble A fight with Mexico And when that war was over There was no place else to go Sea to sea It s called manifest destiny And sea to sea We are movin west Don t ask if it s best Manifest destiny Now, we re not knocking progress We too are pioneers But don t forget the suffering Along the Trail of Tears
As we keep pushing westward Relentlessly it seems Are we creating nightmares While we pursue our dreams? Sea to sea It s called manifest destiny And sea to sea We are movin west Don t ask if it s best Manifest destiny Manifest destiny Rifles and Cannons Too late It s gone too far Too deep Can t hide the scar North, South There s no repair Too late War s in the air Rifles and cannon Rumblin our way Rifles and cannon Comin to stay Though we tried to slow em With threats and tip-toein Troubles are growin War s in the air. Too late Both take their stand They ve drawn Lines in the sand Slavery Or its demise Too late
No compromise Rifles and cannon Rumblin our way Rifles and cannon Comin to stay Though we tried to slow em With threats and tip-toein Troubles are growin War s in the air.
