0:07Here's to the judges of John Roberts
0:16Who wear the robe of honor
0:18In a phony legal form
0:23And justices are stranger
0:26When the partisans report
0:30When the court elected a president
0:34It was the beginning of this war
0:42Here's to the land you tore out heart of
0:51John Roberts find yourself another country
0:58To be part of
1:06And here's to the government of Dick Cheney
1:15With criminals posing as advisers to the crown
1:22And they hope that no one sees the sites
1:26And that no one hears the sounds
1:29'Cause the speeches of our president
1:33Are the remains of a clown oh
1:40Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
1:49Dick Cheney find yourself another country
1:56To be part of
2:04And here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell
2:13Oh the 'cross once made of silver or now
2:17Is turned to rust
2:20And the sunday morning services preach
2:24In fear of men in love
2:27And God only knows in heaven they must trust
2:38Oh here's to the land you tore out the heart of
2:47Jerry Falwell can't find yourself another country
2:54To be part of
3:06And here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez
3:15Yet congress will pass an act in the panic
3:20Of the day
3:22And the constitution's drowning in an ocean
3:27Of decay
3:29And freedom of speech is dangerous
3:33I've even heard them say oh
3:40Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
3:49Gonzalez find yourself another country
3:56To be part of
4:04And here's to the businessmen of George W
4:13Who'll want to change the focus
4:15From Halliburton and Enron
4:20And their profits like blood money spilled out
4:24On the white house lawn
4:27And to keep their hold on power
4:30They're using terror as a con
4:34While the bombs they fall on children
4:38Don't know which side
4:41Don't care which side that they're on oh
4:49Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
4:58George W find yourself another country yeah
5:05To be part of
5:08Oh here's to the land you've torn out
5:15The heart of
5:18George W find yourself another country
5:25To be part of
