Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's to the judges of John Roberts
Who wear the robe of honor in a phony legal form
And justices are stranger when the partisans report
When the court elected a president, it was the beginning of this war
[Verse 2]
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
John Roberts, find yourself another country
To be part of
[Verse 3]
And here's to the government of Dick Cheney
With criminals posing as advisers to the crown
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds
'Cause the speeches of our president are the remains of a clown, oh
[Verse 4]
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Dick Cheney, find yourself another country
To be part of
[Verse 5]
And here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell
Oh, the cross once made of silver, oh, now is turned to rust
And the Sunday morning services preach in fear of men in love
And God only knows in Heaven they must trust, oh
[Verse 6]
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Jerry Falwell, find yourself another country
To be part of
[Verse 7]
And here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez
And congress will pass an act in the panic of the day
And the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay
And freedom of speech is dangerous, I've even heard them say, oh
[Verse 8]
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Gonzales, find yourself another country
To be part of
[Verse 9]
And here's to the businessmen of George W.
Who'll wanna change the focus from Halliburton to Enron
And their profits like blood money spilled out on the White House lawn
And to keep their hold on power, they're usin' terror as a con
While the bombs they fall on children, don't know which side
Don't care which side that they're on, oh
[Verse 10]
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
George W., find yourself another country, ah
To be part of
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
George W., find yourself another country
To be part of
