Phil Ochs - Here`s to the State of Mississippi слова песни

G Em DHere`s to the state of Mississippi, G FFor Underheath her borders, the devil draws no lines, G FIf you drag her muddy river, nameless bodies you will find. G Fwhoa the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes, G Em Am Dthe calender is lyin` when it reads the present time. G Em C GWhoa here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart of,G Em D GMississippi find yourself another country to be part of!Here`s to the people of MississippiWho say the folks up north, they just don`t understandAnd they tremble in their shadows at the thunder of the KlanThe sweating of their souls can`t wash the blood from off their handsThey smile and shrug their shoulders at the murder of a manOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofHere`s to the schools of MississippiWhere they`re teaching all the children that they don`t have to careAll of rudiments of hatred are present everywhereAnd every single classroom is a factory of despairThere`s nobody learning such a foreign word as fairOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofHere`s to the cops of MississippiThey`re chewing their tobacco as they lock the prison doorTheir bellies bounce inside them as they knock you to the floorNo they don`t like taking prisoners in their private little warBehind their broken badges there are murderers and moreOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofAnd, here`s to the judges of MississippiWho wear the robe of honor as they crawl into the courtThey`re guarding all the bastions with their phony legal fortOh, justice is a stranger when the prisoners reportWhen the black man stands accused the trial is always shortOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the government of MississippiIn the swamp of their bureaucracy they`re always bogging downAnd criminals are posing as the mayors of the townsThey`re hoping that no one sees the sights and hears the soundsAnd the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clownOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the laws of MississippiCongressmen will gather in a circus of delayWhile the Constitution is drowning in an ocean of decayUnwed mothers should be sterilized, I`ve even heard them sayYes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi wayOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the churches of MississippiWhere the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rustAnd the Sunday morning sermons pander to their lustThe fallen face of Jesus is choking in the dustHeaven only knows in which God they can trustOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofMississippi find yourself another country to be part of
