Phil Ochs - Here`s to the State of Richard Nixon слова песни
Intro: G Em DG Em DHere`s to the State of Richard Nixon G FFor underneath his borders the devil draws no line G FIf you drag his muddy rivers nameless bodies you will find G FAnd the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes G Em Am DAnd the calender is lyin` when it reads the present time G Em C GOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofG Em D GRichard Nixon find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the schools Richard NixonWhere they`re teaching all the children they don`t have to careAll the rudiments of hatred are present everywhereAnd every single classroom is a factory of despairOh, there`s nobody learnin` such as foreign word as fairOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofRichard Nixon find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the laws Richard NixonWhere the wars are fought in secret, Pearl Harbor every dayHe punishes with income tax that he don`t have to payAnd he`s tapping his own brother just to here what he would sayBut corruption can be classic in the Richard Nixon wayOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofRichard Nixon find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the churches Richard Nixon and Billy GrahamWhere the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rustAnd the Sunday mornin sermons pander to their lustAll the fallen face of Jesus is chokin` in the dustAnd Heaven only knows in which God they can trustOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofRichard Nixon find yourself another country to be part ofAnd here`s to the government Richard NixonIn the swamp of their bureaucracy their always boggin` downAnd criminals are posing as advisors to the crownAnd they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the soundAnd the speeches of the President are the ravings of a clownOh, here`s to the land you`ve torn out the heart ofRichard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
