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
FHere's to the judges of Fadd9John Roberts F
FWho wear the robe of honor in their Fadd9phony legal Gfort
FAnd justices are stranger when the Fadd9partisans reGport
FWhen the court elected the president, it was the Fadd9beginning of this Gwar.
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FJohn Roberts, findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
FAnd here's to the government of Fadd9Dick Cheney F
FWith criminals posing as Fadd9advisors to the Gcrown
FAnd they hope no one sees the sights
And that Fadd9no one hears the sGounds
F'Cause the speeches of our president are the Fadd9ribbons of a Gclown.
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FDick Cheney, findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
FAnd here's to the churches of Fadd9Jerry Falwell.F
FOr a cross once made of silver, now it's Fadd9turned to Grust
FAnd the Sunday morning services preaching Fadd9fear of men in Glove
FAnd God only knows, in Fadd9Heaven they must Gtrust.
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FJerry Falwell, findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
FAnd here's to the laws of Fadd9Alberto Gonzales F
FAnd congress will fasten that in the Fadd9panic of the Gday
FThe constitution's drowning in an Fadd9ocean of Gdecay
FAnd freedom of speech is dangerous I've even Fadd9heard them Gsay
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FGonzales, findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
FAnd here's to the businessmen of Fadd9George W. F
FWho want to change the focus from HalliFadd9burton to EnGron
FAnd their profits, like blood money spill out Fadd9on the White House Glawn
FAnd to keep a hold of power, they're usingFadd9 terror as itG come
FWhile the bombs that fall on children,
Don't know Fadd9which side -
Don't care Fadd9which side -
That they're Gon.
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FGeorge W., findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
FOh here's to the Amland you've Ftorn out the Gheart of
FGeorge W., findAm yourself another FcountryG to be part Fof.
