Here's to the State of Richard Nixo
For underneath his borders the devil draws the lin
If you drag his muddy rivers nameless bodies you will fin
And the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crime
And the calendar is lyin' when it reads the present tim
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart o
Richard Nixon, find yourself another country to be part o
And here's to the schools of Richard Nixo
Where they're teachin' all the children they don't have to car
All the rudiments of hatred are present everywher
And every single classroom is a factory of despai
Oh, there's nobody learnin' such a foreign word as "fair"
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart o
Richard Nixon, find yourself another country to be part o
And here's to the laws of Richard Nixo
Where the wars are fought in secret, Pearl Harbor every da
He punishes with income tax that he don't have to pa
And he's tapping his own brother just to hear what he would sa
But corruption can be classic in the Richard Nixon wa
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart o
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part o
And here's to the churches of Richard Nixon and Billy Graha
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rus
And the Sunday mornin' sermons pander to their lus
All the fallen face of Jesus is chokin' in the dus
And Heaven only knows in which God they can trus
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart o
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part o
And here's to the government of Richard Nixo
In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always boggin' dow
And criminals are posing as advisors to the crow
And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the soun
And the speeches of the President are the ravings of a clow
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart o
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
