MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS - The Love Of Richard Nixon

"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



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 quitter
