[Intro]
Bm G Bm G
[Verse 1]
Bm G the okie from Muskogee's a junkie now
armed to the teeth with his man in power
Em F#m is he high on Oxycontin Em F# nearly gone perhaps forgotten
[Verse 2]
Bm G while the rock stars and celebrities
on sabbatical in the Hebrides
Em F#m giving lectures on integrity Em F# as models of moral purity
[Chorus 1]
A well can you stand the irony G A oh the dignity of the office D A Bm it is erect and at the bottom of the sea Em F#m now we see what we truly are G and say we can do better than this Gm close your hand and make a fist
[Bridge]
Bm G Bm G Em F#m Em F#
[Verse 3]
Bm G When i was just a litte boy, there
was no more noble I could aspire to
Em F#m choose to be self-evident Em F# take an oath, become the president
[Verse 4]
Bm G I believe that we the people have mostly good intentions
'cept for the one whose name we won't even mention
Em F#m oh will his lies surely bury us Em A is the truth so much more nefarious
[Chorus 2]
G A oh the dignity of the office D A Bm it is erect and at the bottom of the sea G A Now when we throw this burden off us D A Bm and restore some shred of dignity Em F#m now we see what we truly are G and say we can do better than this Gm close your hand and make a fist
[Outro]
