G Em D

Here's to the State of Richard Nixon
4
G F
5
For underneath his borders the devil draws no line
6
G F
7
If you drag his muddy rivers nameless bodies you will find
8
G F
9
And the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes
10
G Em Am D
11
And the calender is lyin' when it reads the present time
12
G Em C G
13
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
14
G Em D G
15
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
16
And here's to the schools Richard Nixon
17
Where they're teaching all the children they don't have to care
18
All the rudiments of hatred are present everywhere
19
And every single classroom is a factory of despair
20
Oh, there's nobody learnin' such as foreign word as fair
21
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
22
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
23
And here's to the laws Richard Nixon
24
Where the wars are fought in secret, Pearl Harbor every day
25
He punishes with income tax that he don't have to pay
26
And he's tapping his own brother just to here what he would say
27
But corruption can be classic in the Richard Nixon way
28
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
29
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
30
And here's to the churches Richard Nixon and Billy Graham
31
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust
32
And the Sunday mornin sermons pander to their lust
33
All the fallen face of Jesus is chokin' in the dust
34
And Heaven only knows in which God they can trust
35
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
36
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
37
And here's to the government Richard Nixon
38
In the swamp of their bureaucracy their always boggin' down
39
And criminals are posing as advisors to the crown
40
And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the sound
41
And the speeches of the President are the ravings of a clown
42
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
43
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
