Nixon Lyrics

And I got friends in high places

Cause I'm a liar, a criminally bastard man

I get what I want, and I steal when I can't

I climbed my way up, these scrapes and bruises

Are glory, the angels singing"Hallelujah"

As I stand at the top, I will never descend

Under God's protection, I'm heavensent

All my enemies are here, riverside hotel

Bust this god dam open, let em drown

I got friends in high places

Friends in high places

Five hundred thousand ain't nothing to lose

To hear em"Shhh", distract 'em with a few interviews

I never did any wrong, I'll never do it again

I mean what I say, I didn't say what I meant

And the press is the enemy, don't ever forget

They're running round and round in circles hunting me like a witch

And if Bernstein and Wood write about me again

Well, that's two young men face down in a ditch

In their places

Friends in high places

Well, I'm a liar, a king in a gaggle of pawns

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice to get what you want

I've been called many things, even by my friends

The list grows longer every new sentence

And every smart man has to know when to run

The better part of bravery is discretion

I'll be screaming my innocence til my deathbed

Cause I can make em forgive, but I can't make em forget

I got friends in high places

Friends in high places

People have gotta know whether or not their president is a crook

Well I'm not a crook

He said"You're not gonna be a dictator, are you?"

I said"No, no, no, other than day one"

I did not have sexual relations with that woman

Ms. Lewinsky

Friends in high places

I call upon all nations to do everything they can

To stop these terrorist killers

Now watch this drive
