Thread Name: Lyr Add: Here's to the State of Mississippi (Ochs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Here's To The State of Mississippi
Watergate inspired Phil to rewrite the song as:

Here's to the state of Richard Nixon
And Billy Graham
Where the Sunday morning sermon
Panders to their lust
And the fallen face of Jesus is chokin' in the dust
And God alone can know in which God they can trust

And here's to the government of Richard Nixon
In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always bogging down
And criminals are posing as advisors to the crown
And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the sounds
And the speeches of a Spiro are the ravings of a clown

Here's to the land you've tore out the heart of
Richard Nixon, find yourself another country to be part of.
