The Love of Richard Nixon
The world on your shoulders
The love of your mother
The fear of the future
The best years behind you
The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
Love build around the sandy beaches
Love rains down like Vietnam's leeches
Richard the third in the White House
Cowering behind divided curtains
The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you
Ah, the love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
People forget China and your war on cancer
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
In all the decisions I have made in my public life
I have always tried to do what was best for the nation
I have never been a quit
The love of your mother
The fear of the future
The best years behind you
The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
Love build around the sandy beaches
Love rains down like Vietnam's leeches
Richard the third in the White House
Cowering behind divided curtains
The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you
Ah, the love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
The love of Richard Nixon
Death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon
Yeah, they all betrayed you
People forget China and your war on cancer
Yeah, they all betrayed you
Yeah, and your country too
In all the decisions I have made in my public life
I have always tried to do what was best for the nation
I have never been a quit
