Here Be Monsters - Thomas Jefferson Was a Racist

Well, Thoreau didn't live in isolation - Walden was just a mile from town
He'd go and drink at the bar near every day
And Marie Antionette, no she never said "Let them eat cake"
That was put on her long after her execution day
Well John Wayne was a nazi and
John Lennon beat the shit out of his wife on a daily basis

Oh, and by the way, Thomas Jefferson was a racist

And it not might have been all
But the Spartans were gay despite what that bullshitter Frank Miller says
He's about as credible as the comic sans his stupid books are written in
And Christopher Columbus was a mad dog without a leash
How that genocidal prick gets a day every year is beyond me
Jesus was middle eastern and Disney wasn't frozen in a cryogenic casement

Oh, and by the way Thomas Jefferson was a racist

Well Rene Descartes never said "I think, therefore I am"
And Edison liked to pretend but his inventions were made by someone else's hands
And the Civil War was fought over slavery, although in fairness Lincoln didn't really care
At least not as much as Daniel Day-Lewis would say
And allow me to retort, Napoleon wasn't short and Nero wasn't in Rome
When it burned down and he never had a fiddle he could play
When you study history, prepare to get lost in an endless sea of faces
One of which was Thomas Jefferson, who was a racist
