Herbert Hoover by Electric Needle Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born poor and orphaned young
Hated school, rough childhood
From Iowa, he went across the country
Made his way to Stanford
He studied geology
There he was known for his integrity
After college, was still broke
He went into mining
Rose the corporate ladder
He then made lots of money
Traveled the world, worked in five continents
He even spoke Chinese

[Pre-Chorus]
After success, he wanted to give back
He felt the best way was to get into politics (get into politics)

[Chorus]
Herbert Hoover
You got a bad rap
But the Great Depression
Was kind of your fault
Herbert Hoover
You did some great things
Tragically history forgets that
Herbert Hoover
You got a bad rap
But the Great Depression
Was kind of your fault
Herbert Hoover
You did some great things
Tragically history forgets that
[Bridge]
The stock market crashed, crashed, crashed
And he was blamed, blamed, blamed, blamed
You probably did not know that he was a great reformer
Created the RFC
As a bailout stimulus
But it did not work
And things kept getting worse
Of course not re-elected
And things kept getting worse
But was still behind the scenes
And things kept getting worse
But the Great Depression
Was kind of your fault
Of course not re-elected
And things kept getting worse
Tragically history forgets that
