pushin' a - nick curley and evan gerber lyrics
pushin’ a
signed in paris, an independence treaty
had to whip a government up real speedy
fathers wrote the articles of confederation
but they quickly realized they weren’t good for our nation
they were running out of time needed a solution
so the delegates constructed the constitution
some only wanted their way with their greed
who in the us should lead?
george washington of course everyone agreed
he made a national bank, the country was in need
he created the cabinet, god bless
after two terms was his farewell address
john a. passed the alien and seditions
democratic republicans hated its conditions
jefferson thought he could do this all better
j. a got himself in an affair with the last letters
thomas jefferson, mr. president the third
he made the embargo act, left the country like “word?”
adams to tj, peaceful transfer of the office
bought out all louisiana only 15 mil in losses
have you heard about mr madison’s war?
both sides were fighting didn’t know what for
money was crucial, or else the economy sank
so he whipped out his pen and rechartered the bank
monroe doctrine, whole country was poppin
era of good feelings, opposition had no option
monroe sent bad feelings away in a scurry
he was signing compromises like missouri
like missouri? that line was in a hurry
john quincy did the bargain, the election super blurry
j quince liked boats so he funded the navy
boats going in the c*n*ls it wasn’t wavy
next pres, at the time had big approval
along with that he started indian removal
mr. jackson made some acts that caused some action
economy went bad, sent next presi into traction
van buren sent the indians on the trail of tears
panic of “37 got the public in fear
overall his presidency was quiet
wanted reelection but the country didn’t buy it
before his election, battled in tippecanoe
yeah tippecanoe, he campaigned with tyler too
campaigned with his log cabin persona
got elected but he then died of pneumonia
john tyler yeah he from the whig party
annexed texas the country thought it was tarty
set up a canadian boundary at the 45th
the next president then increased the country in width
james k polk came in with manifest destiny
planted seeds in the west like sesame
beat mexico in war proved we were the best
country was expanded to the southwest
taylor wanted new mex and cali to be states
on the gold rush he was getting great rates
taylor made the abolitionists want to cry
so they gave him a strawberry and he suddenly died
his vp and predecessor was fillmore
he thought the compromise of 1850 was to k!ll for
with that came the the fugitive slave act
also later was the informal railroad pact
franklin pierce my boy dealt with rising tension
kansas nebraska act, slavery, extention
the ostend manifesto got the north down
so they sent a man with a knife, john brown
james a buchanan had to deal with a lot
tried to stop the rising tensions but then came dred scott
he didn’t do much and although he tried
he couldn’t stop the ongoing sectional divide
abe lincoln yeah he took the south by storm
anaconda plan yeah the boys shootin’ in uniform
he wouldn’t recognize the rebellion as war to the nation
so he went ahead and signed the emanc*p*tion proclamation
johnson came directly after his assassination
but they weren’t the same party so there was debatin’
he was too moderate so both parties clashed
vetoed all the civil rights laws but they got passed
ulysses s. grant yeah he was a war hero
credit mobiler but a goodfella, robert deniro
ulysesss got the panic of ‘73
korean expedition was a crazy feat
19th president was rutherford b hayes
his inauguration started the gilded age
because he made a deal using corruption
he said if he got president he would end reconstruction
garfield yeah he wanted civil service reforms
he wanted to integrate racially as the norm
he carefully laid out this expert plan
till he was shot in the back, by a deranged man
chester arthur approved chinese exclusion
he felt as though they had committed an intrusion
pendleton act made hiring examinations
he didn’t get reelected, needed a new occupation
yeah cleveland first term was super compact
went ahead and passed dawes severalty act
panic of 93 it seemed the economy was a curse
cleveland wanted movement passed interstate commerce
another election, another weak executive
but ben used the bully pulpit to be argumentative
didn’t trust trusts so he passed sherman
didn’t win reelection though he was determined
cleveland came back after harrison kinda messy
during his presidency ferguson vs plessy
uh. imperialism he despised
cast your bucket down atlanta compromise
annexed hawaii and he fought with spain
who was the president? mckinley was his name
after winning the war he acquired some colonies
but he did not avoid backlash from the philippines
t roosevelt optimistic for the country to be
walked around with a stick that was his policy
eliminated trusts part of program triple c
after seeing bad meat went on inspection spree
teddy busted 44 trusts, taft got 90
broke them up, made monopolies so whiney
had some big support from the old guard
but the bull moose party made reelection hard
woodrow wilson yeah keep us out the war
we didn’t, now we meeting with the big four
federal reserve and the 14 points
to wilson’s presidency he didn’t disappoint
washington naval conference and return to normalcy
teapot dome all of which were under warren g
he didn’t like the state of the us, he tried to go back
job was so stressful that he had a heart attack
silent cal, coolidge didn’t talk much
kellog briand pact no war so clutch
oh no people didn’t know howto invest
black thursday put the country in cardiac arrest
country was down hoover tried to fix the problem
too many issues hoover couldn’t stop em
job was so hard but he didn’t lose his will
even though he had to deal with hoovervilles
new deal country tryna get anti*depressants
kicking over axis powers like they futile peasants
order 9066 fdr getting sketchy
4 terms power getting stretchy
he took power at the right time, axis losin’
dropping bombs on this song call me president truman
mccarthy made capitalism’s days look dated
didn’t like communism truman used containment
i like ike whole country was buzzin
little rock 9 + three thats a dozen
end of korean war the peace was restored
civil rights on the come up brown versus the board
kennedy had to deal with the cold war
soviets sent a satellite so we sent more
cuban missile crisis shocked our nation to its core
then jfk got shot by a sniper on the sixth floor
poor were in need lbj great society
counterculture emerged, rip filial piety
civil rights workin’ overtime for some equality
no second term due to vietnam animosity
nixon got elected next, what else could he want?
to pass environmental acts, and achieve detente
watergate was failed by nixon’s finest
he resigned when the country found out he was behind it
gerald ford yeah nixon’s vp
pardoned nixon then deemed shady
added more taxes yeah the country yawned
end of vietnam fall of saigon
carter was next up to lead the nation
under his presidency there was stagflation
he passed a bunch of environmental laws
he was a nice a guy like santa claus
ronald reagan, communism, wouldn’t back down
liked his economics trickle down
intra contra affair, yeah, deemed the bad guy
shooting down missiles with the sdi
next president george herbert walker
the country liked him he was a good talker
saddam wanted oil so he took over a state
desert storm pushed saddam back out of kuwait
h.w. not reelected taxes was a facta
clinton came in and organized nafta
he was impeached he couldn’t be him
how many affairs did he have with women?
43rd president was bush’s son
election of 2000 was close but he won
ultimatum of his presidency was 9/11
he used shock and awe to try to send the terrorists to heaven
first black president came in 2008
obama care was the plan, then he received some hate
obama gave speeches yeah yeah he could talk
