The titular song off the album is about two lesser known presidents, Taylor and Fillmore. Both serving within the same 4 years, Taylor hardly had the chance to accomplish anything, and what Fillmore did, while significant, was merely a factor in the onset of the American Civil War. For these reasons...
[Verse 1]
Taylor and Fillmore couldn't stop the war, the never even really tried
Two of our lesser known presidents didn't pass the test of time
Two years into a four year term old Zachary Taylor died
[Chorus 1]
"Old Rough and Ready" ate a poison cherry and it killed him at 65
Millard was a filler, was a little bewildered, everybody called him Vice
[Verse 2]
Taylor and Fillmore, nobody cares for names we don't recognize
All of the lesser known presidents were major players in their time
But nothing really got accomplished, they just passed the problem down the line
[Chorus 2]
"Old Rough and Ready" ate a poison cherry and it killed him at 65
Millard was a filler but he wasn't the killer, and now they didn't call him Vice
[Verse 3]
All of our lesser known presidents led pretty colorful lives
It's a shame we forgot them, they didn't pass the test of time (time, time, time, time, time, time, time... time)
