Anyone know where to find a copy of the lyrics to that updated version of Here's To The State Of Mississippi that Ed did on Storytellers?

I think they went like this:

Phil Ochs is awesome, and people should listen to more of him.

Or maybe not. But I'm listening to No More Songs right now, which always kicks my ass. What an amazing songwriter.

I wonder if it would be as funny to see the words as it was to hear them.

Just watched it again, here's the lyrics as I heard them:

Here’s to the judges of John Roberts
Who wear the robe of honor in their phony legal fort
And justices are stranger when the partisans report
When the court elected the president.
It was the beginning of this war.
Oh here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of
John Roberts find yourself another country to be part of.
And here’s to the government of Dick Cheney
With criminals posing as advisors to the crown
And they hope no one sees the sights
And that no one hears the sounds
Cause the speeches of our president
Are the ribbons 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
Or a cross once made of silver
Oh now it’s turned to rust
And the Sunday morning services preaching fear of men in love
And god only knows in Heaven they must 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 Alberto Gonzales
And congress will fasten that in the panic of the day
And the constitution’s 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
Gonzales, find yourself another country to be part of
And here’s to the businessmen of George W.
Who want to change the focus from Halliburton and Enron
And their profit's like blood money
Spilling out on the White House lawn
And they keep their hold on power
They’re usin’ terror as it comes
While the bombs that fall on children don’t know which side
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
Here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of
George W. find yourself another country to be part of.

I'm so glad Vh1 aired this song. This kind of stuff needs to be played more often.
