teddy please don't make me go up that hill
rough rider like to get himself killed
now it sure don't look like a vacation spot
all got malaria the weather's too hot
the white house is calling
i'm sure we're gonna charge today
yeah looking good on my resume
mister hoover i come to collect my dough
the kids are starving and the bank foreclosed
i would sell my purple heart if i got a good offer
the steel saber rattle of douglas macarther
now the union man come up here to organize
make the rich man hear my cry
mr getty and carnegie and vanderbilt
if i talk to much my blood will get spilt
Did You Know?
The second verse of Resume tells of the Bonus Expeditionary Force, an army of vets who in 1932 gathered and encamped in Washington DC, seeking aid from the government in the form of early payments of the $500 bonus they were to receive in 1945 (this was in the midst of the Great Depression). The vets and their families were eventually driven out by violent military force led by General MacArthur.
