Pearl Jam played this song on Storytellers. Its a cover of a Phil Ochs tune from around
Civil Rights movement called "Here's to the State of Mississippi" but then in the early
with Vietnam he rewrote it and called it "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon". So
played his version and it goes something like this.
Standard Tuning EADGBe
GHere's to the judges of Cadd9John Roberts G
GWho wear the robe of honor in their Cadd9phony legal Dfort
GAnd justices are stranger when the Cadd9partisans reDport
GWhen the court elected the president, it was the Cadd9beginning of this Dwar.
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GJohn Roberts, findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
GAnd here's to the government of Cadd9Dick Cheney G
GWith criminals posing as Cadd9advisors to the Dcrown
GAnd they hope no one sees the sights
And that Cadd9no one hears the sDounds
G'Cause the speeches of our president are the Cadd9ribbons of a Dclown.
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GDick Cheney, findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
GAnd here's to the churches of Cadd9Jerry Falwell.G
GOr a cross once made of silver, now it's Cadd9turned to Drust
GAnd the Sunday morning services preaching Cadd9fear of men in Dlove
GAnd God only knows, in Cadd9Heaven they must Dtrust.
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GJerry Falwell, findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
GAnd here's to the laws of Cadd9Alberto Gonzales G
GAnd congress will fasten that in the Cadd9panic of the Dday
GThe constitution's drowning in an Cadd9ocean of Ddecay
GAnd freedom of speech is dangerous I've even Cadd9heard them Dsay
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GGonzales, findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
GAnd here's to the businessmen of Cadd9George W. G
GWho want to change the focus from HalliCadd9burton to EnDron
GAnd their profits, like blood money spill out Cadd9on the White House Dlawn
GAnd to keep a hold of power, they're usingCadd9 terror as itD come
GWhile the bombs that fall on children,
Don't know Cadd9which side -
Don't care Cadd9which side -
That they're Don.
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GGeorge W., findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
GOh here's to the Emland you've Ctorn out the Dheart of
GGeorge W., findEm yourself another CcountryD to be part Gof.
