[Verse 1]
What would Lincoln say if he were here today,
sitting at this bar, talking like we are?
What would Lincoln do, watching all this news,
he wouldn’t turn his head, I’m willing to bet.
 
[Chorus]
Five bucks says we’re still created equal,
five bucks he’d still be Honest Abe.
Pull my wallet out and ask him right now,
five bucks says he’s rolling in his grave.
He’d say it ought to be illegal
to keep a man down this long,
never know for sure, but if I were to guess,
that’s what five bucks says.
 
[Verse 2]
Bet he’s the kind of man that would shake your hand,
no matter who you are, he would see your heart.
He’d have an open ear, buy us both a beer,
talk about your   boss at work, how the whole world is acting like jerks.
 
[Chorus]
Five bucks says we’re still created equal,
five bucks he’d still be Honest Abe.
Pull my wallet out and ask him right now,
five bucks says he’s rolling in his grave.
He’d say it ought to be illegal
to keep a man down this long,
never know for sure, but if I were to guess,
that’s what five bucks says.
 
[Interlude]
 
[Outro]
He’d say it ought to be illegal
to keep a man down this long,
never know for sure, but if I were to guess,
that’s what five bucks says.
If he were standing here now, in the flesh,
that’s what five bucks says.
