I Know Him

They say George Washington's yielding his power and stepping away
Is that true?
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
I'm perplexed, are they going to keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
If so, who's next?
There's nobody else in their country who looms quite as large

John Adams?
I know him, that can't be
That's that little guy who spoke to me
All those years ago, what was it, 85?
That poor man, they're going to eat him alive

Oceans rise, empires fall
Next to Washington, they all look small
All alone, watch them run
They will tear each other into pieces
Jesus Christ, this will be fun

President John Adams, good luck
