Here's to the state of mississippi, | |
G f | |
For underheath her borders, the devil draws no lines, | |
G f | |
If you drag her muddy river, nameless bodies you will find. | |
G f | |
Whoa the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes, | |
G em am d | |
The calender is lyin' when it reads the present time. | |
G em c g | |
Whoa here's to the land you've torn out the heart of, | |
G em d g | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of! | |
Here's to the people of mississippi | |
Who say the folks up north, they just don't understand | |
And they tremble in their shadows at the thunder of the klan | |
The sweating of their souls can't wash the blood from off their hands | |
They smile and shrug their shoulders at the murder of a man | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
Here's to the schools of mississippi | |
Where they're teaching all the children that they don't have to care | |
All of rudiments of hatred are present everywhere | |
And every single classroom is a factory of despair | |
There's nobody learning such a foreign word as fair | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
Here's to the cops of mississippi | |
They're chewing their tobacco as they lock the prison door | |
Their bellies bounce inside them as they knock you to the floor | |
No they don't like taking prisoners in their private little war | |
Behind their broken badges there are murderers and more | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
And, here's to the judges of mississippi | |
Who wear the robe of honor as they crawl into the court | |
They're guarding all the bastions with their phony legal fort | |
Oh, justice is a stranger when the prisoners report | |
When the black man stands accused the trial is always short | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
And here's to the government of mississippi | |
In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always bogging down | |
And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns | |
They're hoping that no one sees the sights and hears the sounds | |
And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
And here's to the laws of mississippi | |
Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay | |
While the constitution is drowning in an ocean of decay | |
Unwed mothers should be sterilized, i've even heard them say | |
Yes, corruption can be classic in the mississippi way | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
And here's to the churches of mississippi | |
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust | |
And the sunday morning sermons pander to their lust | |
The fallen face of jesus is choking in the dust | |
Heaven only knows in which god they can trust | |
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of | |
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of | |
