Six bearded presidents, all of them forgotten
Now make high school students think that history is rotten
Mark T. dubbed this era, 1870 to 90
The Gilded Age, a phrase that stuck, and now it seems to bind me
Gilded, also known as deceptively attractive
This time period sucked, anything good was short lived
Occasionally a law was passed, a bill was enacted
But then it would be ruined when the other side reacted

From Ulysses S Grant
To Bill Henry Harrison
Hist ry students can t
Find any comparison
Cuz the Gilded Age sucks
Cuz the Gilded Age sucks
It really sucks

Grant was faced with scandal and corruption
Nonetheless he won a second election
76 saw Hayes defeat Tilden
Sold out the blacks, basically killed them
Garfield won next, in one year he got shot
Arthur took over , his accomplishments were naught
Grover Cleveland, what a name, lowered the tax
Harrison won in 88, the Gilded Era s last
