My friend and I have started writing parodies to songs, and were wondering if they were decent at all, so I decided to come here and post this. Please post criticism and anything that we could do to improve the songs.
This song is a parody of "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift
It's a reference to the Election of 1824, where John Quincy Adams won because Henry Clay told the House Of Representatives to vote for Adams, rather than Andrew Jackson.
Thanks for any help

You’re by yourself, thinkin’ bout the Corrupt Bargain
we’re both wondering why I didn’t win
and I’ll never be dishonest like Quincy was
I’m in my office, typical Friday night
Planning for the kind of battles he doesn’t like
cause he can’t defend your freedom like I do
I’m a hero,
he’s a coward
I hold a sword
and he holds a flower!
and I’m planning for the day when you’ll open your eyes and see
everything you’re looking for is in me!
If you could see that I’m the leader to unite you!
I can make the nation strong,
why can’t you see?
Should have gone with me...
should have gone with me.
Secretary of State, pretty cushy job
let’s see how you fare against the angry mob
They all know of your plot
at the time it seemed hot
But soon there’s a rebellion
America the Beautiful could be a great place
but not as long as we’re ruled by Quincy’s pale face
Yeah just fine, we could be better than that
Adequate, we’re so much better than that!
I’ve got charisma
he’s got connections
I study hard
his collection is in sections!
and I’m planning for the day when you’ll open your eyes and see
everything you’re looking for is in me!

Should have gone with me...
should have gone with me.
I led the troops, defended New Orleans
Got majority, how could you not see, Henry?
Should have gone with me,
should have gone with me.
Oh, they remember me,
planning for attack
to be a hero got a knack
routed those Redcoats
sent them sailing in their boats
100,000 versus less
in the end a bloody mess
Made old Georgie my latrine
that was the fight for New Orleans
Can’t you see that I’m the leader to unite you?

Have you ever thought just maybe,
you should have gone with me?
