lyrics

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison
Franklin, Hamilton and John Jay
They came to my door and walked inside
and this is what they all did say

we’ve had this gig, two hundred years
as founding fathers, way too long
we’ve heard our names used up in vain
for causes right and causes wrong

it’s a modern world and we can’t help you
with cybersecurity or with drones
what do we know, we rode horses!
go figure this stuff out on your own

when we had a problem we didn’t ask
what Henry the eighth did years before
we had some principles but we were pre-modern
we flew our own kites and fought our wars

what do we know about global climate change?
or fetal tissue stem cell work
go do the research and please take off
that three-cornered hat you look like a jerk
