"En la Brisa" Music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com
Just a backwoods boy in the revolution getting scarred on the forehead for life
This Carolina-born son of immigrants, don’t forgive and he never forgets
Fast forward to the War of 1812, to the city of New Orleans
He beats the British with his diverse troops, even though the war ceased to be
He will invade Florida
'Gainst Seminole Indians
Burning towns and seizing lands, he just don't care
He's the General, General Jackson
He'll keep fighting even if the fighting's done
He's the General, General Jackson
And he'll fight you if you are an Indian
He may be a jack-ass but lay off his wife or he'll put you in his sights
Ditching his inaugural party because so many drunks showed up
The 2nd U.S. Bank or treaties given to the Seminoles for life
Don't beat Manifest Destiny, we're meant to expand alright
He will put you in his gears
So you march a Trail of Tears
Quarter die, barely the rest will survive
He's the President, President Jackson
And he’ll fight if you push nullification
He's the President, President Jackson
Is it spoils systems or is it corruption?
