Chords/lyrics for "Here's to the State of George W."

Here's to the State of George W.

G Em Am D
Here's to the judges of William Rehnquist,
G F
Who wear the robe of honour in their phoney legal fort.
G F
Oh, justice is a stranger when the partisans report,
G Em Am D
When the court elected the president it was the beginning of this war.
G Em C G
Whoa here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
G Em Am D G
William Rehnquist, find yourself another country to be part of!

And here's to the government of Dick Cheney,
With criminals are posing as advisors to the crown
And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the sounds
‘Cause the speeches of the president are the ravings of a clown
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Dick Cheney, find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell,
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust
And the Sunday morning sermons pander to the fear of men in lust
Heaven only knows in which God they can trust
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Jerry Falwell, find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the laws of John Ashcroft,
Congress will pass an act in the panic of the day
While the Constitution is drowning in an ocean of decay
And freedom of speech is dangerous, I've even heard them say
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
John Ashcroft, find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the businessman of George W.,
Who want to change the focus from Halliburton and Enron
And their profits, like blood money are spilling out on the White House Lawn
TO keep their hold on power they’re using terror as a gun
While the bombs that fall on children don’t care which side that they’re on
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
George W., find yourself another country to be part of

Wow. What a great response. Now, does anyone know where to find an mp3 of the vedder version?

The lyrics in the first verse were John Roberts, not Rehnquist. Other than that, looks pretty accurate.

Thanks for the mp3! I hadn't heard that one before!
