25th Amendment

Devendra Banhart

1600 Washington D.C., that’s where I am Oh no, poor me.
Even though I'm at the bottom of the list, oh, lord, I never wanted this
So won't you please please pay attention
To the following line of succession
That's been in place since the 1700s till today

It all began when the President had a sudden and total awakening that completely rearrange the state of heart
And even worse the newly grown moral compass and a developing code of ethics they got into art

And so out the White House they went
And next came the Vice President who ate too much drywall
After seeing Lincoln’s ghost float oh so very disapprovingly down the hall

And so the speaker of the House of Representatives prepared to leave but due to their old jobs’ roles and responsibilities
They rarely spoke, so when it came time to do so they clammed up
And so the President Pro Tempore of the Senate showed up
But soon discovered [sanoriku?] and left the White House for the cup
Look it up

And so in came the Secretary of State but a heart attack was their fate
And so in came the Secretary of the Treasury
But swiftly called it quits the minute they saw their fate

And so the Secretary of Defense arrived
It was a miracle that they survived
After ingesting Jimson Weed with the Havasupai
And as they rolled them out the joint the Attorney General they did appoint
Whoopee.

But before they went to bed they self-immolated didn't even bother turning out the light, and so the Secretary of the Interior
Though feeling morally superior
Got caught that night
On a dark website And so the Secretary of Agriculture became top brass
But a heart attack at mass put him under the grass, and so the Secretary of Commerce made their debut on I don't Pennsylvania Avenue
But after sniffing too much glue, not one more day could they get through
Oh

And in came the Secretary of Labor
But their time soon was done when they suggested guaranteed income
Guaranteed Guaranteed
That means for everyone

And so the secretary of Health and Human Services we chose
But their willingness to expose the truth about UFOs they did oppose
And so the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development they did recruit
But they read “Beginner’s Mind” became a monk and soon resigned before they got the boot
Yeah

And so the Secretary of Transportation we welcomed aboard
But the subway stopped halfway
And the service is yet to be restored
And so the Secretary of Energy we did elinst
But soon had to cease and desist after the millionth scandalous tryst
But it wasn't even that
Somebody found their prayer mat
Oh no

And so in came the Secretary of Education
But they showed up with a letter of resignation
And so the Secretary of Veterans Affairs became Commander-In-Chief, but the resulting HIV that not even TMS or EMDR or CBT could relieve the hyper-sensitivity
And so naturally they had to go into recovery

And so in came the Secretary of Homeland Security
But after trying to explain that the matriarchy simply means equality
It was all too scary so they had to send him free and roughly after 323 million people more were swallowed by D.C. it all fell on me
Now, that's a drag
