Preamble

The country, having just emerged from a great rebellion

Many questions will come before it for settlement in the next four years

Which preceding administrations have never had to deal with

In reading these, it is desirable that they should be approached calmly

Without prejudice, hate, or sectional pride, remembering that the greatest good

To the greatest number, is the object to be attained

Where you goin'?

Nah, what you running from

All the so-called "competition" well I'm sonning 'em

Killed the so-called "opposition" yeah I'm hunting 'em

Take my word that you don't wanna see another one (ah)
