Thomas, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation
Would you like to join us? Or stay mellow
Doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello

If we assume the debts
He union gets
A new line of credit
A financial diuretic
How do you not get it?
If we're aggressive and competitive
The union gets a boost
You'd rather give it a sedative?

A civics lesson from a slaver?
Hey neighbor: Your debts are paid cause you don't pay for labor "We plant seeds in the South, we create!"
Man, keep ranting
We know who's really doing the planting

And another thing, mister "age-of-enlightenment"
Don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it
You think I'm frightened of you, man?
We almost died in a trench
While you were off gettin' high with the French!
