[C]Here's to the State

[Verse 1]
[Am]of Richard Nixon[G]
For [C]un derneath his borders
the [Bb]dev il draws the line
If you [C]drag his muddy rivers
nameless [Bb]bod ies you will find
And the [C]fat trees of the forest
have [Bb]hid a thousand crimes
[B]And the cal[C]endar is lyin'[Am] when
it [Dm]reads the present [G]time
Oh, [C]here's to the [Am]land you've
[F]torn out the [C]heart of
Richard Nixon, find yourself another
[F]coun[G]try to [C]be part of
And here's to the [Am]schools
of Richard [G]Nixon
Where they're teach[C]in' all the children
[Bb]they don't have to care
All the rudi[C]ments of hatred
are [Bb]present everywhere
And [C]every single classroom is
[Bb]a factory of despair
Oh, there's [C]nobody learn[Am]in' such
a [Dm]for eign word as "[G]fair"
Oh, [C]here's to the [Bb]land [Am]you've
[F]torn [C]out the heart of
Richard Nixon, find [Am]yourself [Bb]another
[Ebm]coun try to be p[C]art of
And here's to the laws [Am]of Richard Nixo[G]n
[C]Where the wars are[Bb] fought
in secret, Pearl Harbor every day
He [C]punishes [Bb]with income tax
that he [C]don't have to pay
And he's tapping his own [Bb]brother just to hear what
he [C]would say
But corruption can be [Am]classic in
the [Dm]Richard Nix[G]on way
Oh, [C]here's to the [Am]land you've
[F]torn out the [C]heart of
Richard Nixon find yourself an
[Bb]other coun[G]try to [C]be part of
And here's to the churches [Am]of Richard
[G]Nixon and Billy Graham
Where [C]the cross, once made of silver,
[Bb]now is caked with rust
And the Sunday [C#]mornin'
[C]sermons [Bb]pander to their lust
All the fallen [C]face of Jesus
is chok[Bb]in' in the dust
And [C]Heaven [Am]only knows in
[Dm]which God they [G]can trust
Oh, [C]here's to the [Am]land you've
[F]torn out the [C]heart of
Richard Nixon find [Am]yourself another
[Bb]coun[G]try to be [C]part of
And here's to the [Am]government
of Richard Nixon
[G]In the swamp of [C#]their bur[C]eaucracy
they're [Bb]always boggin' down
And crim[C]inals are posing as ad
[Bb]visors to the crown
And they hope [C]that no one sees the sights
[Bb]and no one hears the sound
[C]And the speeches of the Pres[Am]ident
are the [Bb]raving[Dm]s of a [G]clown
Oh, [C]here's [Am]to the land you've
[F]torn out the [C]heart of
Richard Nixon find your
[Bb]self another coun[G]try to [C]be part of
