[Verse 1]
G                       Cadd9      G
Here's to the judges of John Roberts
G                               Cadd9       D
Who wear the robe of honor in a phony legal form
G                                  Cadd9     D
And justices are stranger when the partisans report
G                                             Cadd9             D
When the court elected a president it was the beginning of this war


[Chorus 1]
G             Em       C            G
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
G            Em                    C       D     G
John Roberts find yourself another country to be part of


[Verse 2]
G                           Cadd9     G
Here's to the government of Dick Cheney
G                        Cadd9           D
With criminals posing as advisers to the crown
G                                                Cadd9            D
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds
G                                           Cadd9            D
Cause the speeches of our president are the remains of a clown


[Chorus 2]
G             Em       C            G
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
G           Em                    C       D     G
Dick Cheney find yourself another country to be part of


[Verse 3]
G                         Cadd9 G
Here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell
G                                Cadd9            D
Oh the cross once made of silver now is turned to rust
G                                         Cadd9          D
And the Sunday morning services preach in fear of men in love
G                     Cadd9            D
And God only knows in heaven they must trust


[Chorus 3]
G             Em       C            G
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
G             Em                    C       D     G
Jerry Falwell find yourself another country to be part of


[Verse 4]
G                     Cadd9        G
Here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez
G                                Cadd9        D
Congress will pass an act in the panic of the day
G                                     Cadd9       D
And the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay
G                                       Cadd9           D
And freedom of speech is dangerous I've even heard them say


[Chorus 4]
G             Em       C            G
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
G        Em                    C       D     G
Gonzalez find yourself another country to be part of


[Verse 5]
G                            Cadd9  G
Here's to the businessmen of George W
G                                         Cadd9        D
Who'll want to change the focus from Halliburton and Enron
G                                          Cadd9                  D
And their profits like blood money spilled out on the white house lawn
G                                         Cadd9       D
To keep their hold on power they're using terror as a con
G                                                Cadd9                                            D
While the bombs they fall on children don't know which side... don't care which side that they're on


[Chorus 5]
G             Em       C            G
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
G        Em                    C       D     G
George W find yourself another country to be part of
G             Em          C            G
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
G        Em                    C       D     G
George W find yourself another country to be part of
