There's a White House War machine,
the one Wilson switched on,
waited long enough and joined the side that won.
Roosevelt was dying, they had to find a man
who would keep things running
just like they planned.
Henry Wallace said what he really thought
and there's no room for that,
no chance for that to move up in Washington.
When Roosevelt died, they had Truman move in,
left all the furniture exactly how it had been.
"Show me" a man who would seem to take a stand,
got the White House blues all across this land.
MacArthur covers a whole nation's eyes
and he waits for William Laurence to come claim his prize,
Hiroshima to Washington.
That great atomic power,
scared Charlie Louvin,
scared him more than God.
Drop the little boy and the fat man,
now you got the whole world with the Marshall Plan.
The doctrines were in order, they just needed a name,
almost any other man, it would have been the same,
it's a shame in Washington.
Now you have to close your eyes to deny the rumors,
the working class, we're all consumers.
Truman left the White House, his job was done,
left all the furniture for the next one,
Eisenhauer to Washington.
The Rosenbergs were still in prison,
going to the chair,
now there's a new man in the White House,
it doesn't change a thing in Washington.
Because that great atomic power,
scared Charlie Louvin,
scared him more than God.

pull the first class curtain open
see who's up there
call it an act of treason
but I don't care, I don't care
