Lyrics
Washington's Whiskey Revolt
Forced a tax didn't fly
Adams' Alien and Sedition Act
Free speech say goodbye
Jefferson's Embargo Act
Of '07 was his
The War of 1812 Madison
Could not prevent his is
Monroe's Missouri Compromise
A slave state for one not
Adams' Tariff of Abominations
The South never forgot
Jackson's Trail of Tears
Forced Indians to relocate
Van Buren's Panic of '37
Help came too late
Harrison's his life cut short
By standing in the cold
Tyler's his siding with the
Confederacy I'm told
Polk's invading Mexico
To increase the nation's size
Taylor's iced milk and cherries
Brought on his early demise
Fillmore's Fugitive Slave Act
Pressed the North and South divide
Pierce's Bleeding Kansas
Brought more violence between each side
Buchanan's Secession Crisis
He let the war begin
Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus
No trial just prison
Andrew Johnson's Black Codes
Still discriminate
Grant's Corrupt Cabinet choices
Laws they'd violate
Hayes ending Reconstruction
Civil rights laws now dismissed
Garfield's Star Route Scandal
Postal fraud his main crisis
Arthur's Chinese Exclusion Act
The first of its kind
Cleveland's Panic of '93
Major financial bind
Higher prices from tariffs
Was where Harrison stood
McKinley's Annexation
Of the Philippines not good
Roosevelt's Brownsville Affair
All black soldiers discharged
Taft the income tax
A public debt that he enlarged
Wilson's World War One entry
Reason shaded in gray
Harding's Teapot Dome scandal
Oil and bribes soiled his stay
Coolidge's Great Mississippi Flood
Was cool on flood control
Hoover's handling of the Depression
Limited his role
Roosevelt's Japanese Internment Camps
Unfair they were
Truman's was the Bomb lost lives
And a future disaster
Ike's Domino Theory
Democracy should intervene
Kennedy's Bay of Pigs
The worst invasion he'd seen
Johnson's more troops for Vietnam
Made protestors irate
Richard Nixon's was his
Cover up of Watergate
Ford's pardoning Nixon
Built public resentment
Carter's Iran Hostage crisis
An embarrassment
Reagan's Iran-Contra affair
Rebel help offered
Bush's No New Taxes statement
Went back on his word
Clinton's Lewinsky lie
Brought him an impeachment
Bush's Iraqi Freedom chaos
In spite of what we sent
Obama's ATF gun-walking
Most failed to be traced
Trump's underestimating
The opposition he faced
Biden's open border to millions
Just makes no sense
So much for the big mistakes
By all of the Presidents
