《Here’s To The State Of Mississippi(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Here's To The State Of Mississippi - Phil Ochs
[00:00:06] Here's to the State of Mississippi
[00:00:10] For underneath her borders
[00:00:13] The devil draws no lines
[00:00:16] If you drag her muddy river
[00:00:18] Nameless bodies you will find
[00:00:22] Whoa the fat trees of the forest
[00:00:24] Have hid a thousand crimes
[00:00:28] The calender is lying
[00:00:30] When it reads the present time
[00:00:34] Whoa here's to the land
[00:00:37] You've torn out the heart of
[00:00:40] Mississippi find yourself another country
[00:00:44] To be part of
[00:00:49] And here's to the people of Mississippi
[00:00:55] Who say the folks up north
[00:00:57] They just don't understand
[00:01:00] And they tremble in their shadows
[00:01:02] At the thunder of the Klan
[00:01:05] Oh the sweating of their souls
[00:01:07] Can't wash the blood from off their hands
[00:01:11] They smile and shrug their shoulders
[00:01:14] At the murder of a man
[00:01:17] Oh here's to the land
[00:01:20] You've torn out the heart of
[00:01:23] Mississippi find yourself
[00:01:26] Another country to be part of
[00:01:32] And here's to the schools of Mississippi
[00:01:38] Where they're teaching all the children
[00:01:40] That they don't have to care
[00:01:43] All of rudiments of hatred
[00:01:45] Are present everywhere
[00:01:48] And every single classroom
[00:01:50] Is a factory of despair
[00:01:54] And there's nobody learning
[00:01:56] Such a foreign word as fair
[00:02:00] Oh here's to the land
[00:02:02] You've torn out the heart of
[00:02:06] Mississippi find yourself another
[00:02:09] Country to be part of
[00:02:14] And here's to the cops of Mississippi
[00:02:20] They're chewing their tobacco
[00:02:21] As they lock the prison door
[00:02:24] Their bellies bounce inside them
[00:02:27] As they knock you to the floor
[00:02:29] No they don't like taking prisoners
[00:02:32] In their private little war
[00:02:35] And behind their broken badges
[00:02:38] There are murderers and more
[00:02:41] Oh here's to the land
[00:02:44] You've torn out the heart of
[00:02:48] Mississippi find yourself another country
[00:02:51] To be part of
[00:02:57] And here's to the judges of Mississippi
[00:03:03] Who wear the robe of honor
[00:03:05] As they crawl into the court
[00:03:08] They're guarding all the bastions
[00:03:10] With their phony legal fort
[00:03:12] Oh justice is a stranger
[00:03:15] When the prisoners report
[00:03:17] When the black man stands accused
[00:03:20] The trial is always short
[00:03:23] Oh here's to the land
[00:03:26] You've torn out the heart of
[00:03:29] Mississippi find yourself another country
[00:03:33] To be part of
[00:03:38] And here's to the government of Mississippi
[00:03:45] In the swamp of their bureaucracy
[00:03:48] They're always bogging down
[00:03:50] And criminals are posing
[00:03:52] As the mayors of the towns
[00:03:55] They're hoping that no one sees the sights
[00:03:58] And hears the sounds
[00:04:00] And the speeches of the governor
[00:04:03] Are the ravings of a clown
[00:04:06] Oh here's to the land you've torn
[00:04:10] Out the heart of
[00:04:12] Mississippi
[00:04:14] Find yourself another country to be part of
[00:04:21] And here's to the laws of Mississippi
[00:04:29] Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay
[00:04:33] While the Constitution is drowning
[00:04:35] In an ocean of decay
[00:04:38] Unwed mothers should be sterilized
[00:04:41] I've even heard them say
[00:04:44] Yes corruption can be classic
[00:04:47] In the Mississippi way
[00:04:50] Oh here's to the land you've torn
[00:04:54] Out the heart of
[00:04:56] Mississippi find yourself another country
[00:05:00] To be part of
[00:05:05] And here's to the churches of Mississippi
[00:05:11] Where the cross once made of silver
[00:05:14] Now is caked with rust
[00:05:16] And the Sunday morning sermons pander
[00:05:19] To their lust
[00:05:22] Oh the fallen face of Jesus is choking
[00:05:25] In the dust
[00:05:27] Heaven only knows in which God
[00:05:30] They can trust
[00:05:33] Oh here's to the land you've torn out
[00:05:37] The heart of
[00:05:39] Mississippi find yourself another country
[00:05:43] To be part of
