And here’s to the government of Mississippi In the swamp of their bureaucracy they’re always bogging down And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns And they hope that no one sees the sights And no one hears the sounds And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of And here’s to the laws of Mississippi Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay While the Constitution’s drowning in an ocean of decay Unwed mothers should be sterilized, I’ve even heard them say Yes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi way Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrrOY0vwuPE
