1
Richard Nixon sleeps
The little girl on fire
Visits his dreams
2
Mass murderer, liar
Paranoid war criminal
But he’s not a crook
3
And Richard Nixon
Must have to stand naked
So sang Bob Dylan
4
America ends
Among the flashlights in the
Watergate Hotel
5
Nixon in China
With Kissinger on the ground
Spiro left in charge
6
Chanted in the streets
Vietnam Cambodia
He tried to kill me
7
Nixon waves goodbye
Pat and Tricia try to smile
Nightmare is over
8
Many years later
Yorba Linda, black marble
Dancing on his grave

Very nice - I always think of Nixon (I guess everyone else did too) when Dylan sings that "naked" line in "It's Alright Ma" on Before the Flood. - Steve (rockturtleneck)
