  • 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

    Ah, 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 Writer/s: JAMES BRADFIELD, NICHOLAS JONES, SEAN MOORE
