Hint: I am not a fan of Andrew Jackson!
On the Twenty Dollar Bill © 2010 Cindy Prince
We’ve made him a hero How soon we forget The abuses he conjured His careless roulette
He broke all the treaties Caused the Trail of Tears woes But ask an American today Ask him what he knows
Chorus Andrew Jackson was no hero He has blood on his name He called them all savages Yet he’s dripping with fame His abuses were many He backed no goodwill Yet his face is plastered On the twenty dollar bill
He screwed all the banks Took the country right down Played with investors Like some devilish clown
Overrode the Supreme Court Just to have his own way If I could just tell him This is what I would say
2nd Chorus Mr. Jackson, you were no hero You have blood on your name You thought they were savages Why weren’t you ashamed? Your abuses were many You backed no goodwill Yet your face is still plastered On the twenty dollar bill

This song needs no critique. It is well written. You hit the nail right on the head with this topic. I love it when someone manages to "tell it like it really is". Record it, CD it and I'll buy it.
Take care, jody

Cindy, Gosh darnit. Your song about Old Hickory now requires me to read up on Andy to see if their is merit to your complaints! It's good to see a historical song on the board once in awhile!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I do like a little history now and again. You can read up on him all over the place but since I am part Cherokee and Choctaw I really have issues with him! I hope I can get someone to do the music. Cindy

Keep up the good work. Dan, Watch The Money masters and you'll find out that Cindy's verse about Jackson and the CRIMINAL BANKERS couldn't be further from the truth. On Jackson's tomb is chiselled: "I killed the bank". they tried to kill him but two flint-loading pistols misfired in his stomach. Jefferson, Lindberg, Franklin, McFadden, JFK ALL KNEW THAT THE BANKERS OF TODAY'S threatening NEW WORLD ORDER dictatorship, HAD TO BE STOPPED. Watch the money masters if you really want the truth of our history. THE MONEY MASTERS http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=8702Jefferson "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Thomas Jefferson (3rd president of US (1743 - 1826) Kennedy & Gov't Plot ( CENTRAL BANKERS!!) "The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight." From President John F. Kennedy's last speech, made at Columbia University, in November 1963, 10 days before his murder. It was Meyer Rothschild who said. "Give me control over the issuance of a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws." THEY FINALLY GOT THAT VERY CONTROL -- THAT JACKSON AND OTHERS KEPT THEM FROM GETTING-- IN 1913, with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act JEFFERSON'S PROPHECY COMING TRUE TODAY: If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson (3rd president of US (1743 - 1826) Jefferson to Taylor “The system of banking, we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens.” Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, May 28, 1816. On the subject of JACKSON'S complicity regarding the horrific treatment of the Cherokee Nation however, I am in complete agreement. Terry

I gotta stress I gotta reinforce Cindyrella That you were right on about the trail of tears That Jackson was very much to blame For his not stopping it in the final hour
But he sure was right about who was doin' that ethnic cleansing Of that day . . . The same. . . international bankers ! They go back a very long snaky way
He Picked up where Thomas Jefferson left off! Read their quotes. . .
Hat's off!

Cindy, Like most of us, I'd known in general about our shameful treatment of the Indian nations. But I did a little reading based on your song about Jackson and the details of what was done to the Southeastern Indian nations is beyond shameful. Criminal is a better word to describe the behavior of Jackson and the U.S. Government. Thanks for opening my eyes a little more.

Thanks for the comments. Terry, I will watch what you recommend because I don't know that much about the money and bank issues. . Just what I had read. I have studied quite a bit about the Trail of Tears and his role in it and it was criminal. I think it is good to write about history and to discuss and learn from it. Cindy

Cindy,
I think there is no need to tell you again that these lyrics are very well written (I think this is obvious). I love lyrics that relate also to historical or real geographical topics/locations, so I enjoyed in reading this one. It is always nice to read sontexts about some topics that are beyond the "inflational" "love-things" and that some people are able to use their brain and not to take all for true what some others want us to believe in... Great job!!
