[Verse 1]
Bm G
the okie from Muskogee's a junkie now
armed to the teeth with his man in power
Em F#m
is he high on Oxycontin
Em F#
nearly gone perhaps forgotten
[Verse 2]
Bm G
while the rock stars and celebrities
on sabbatical in the Hebrides
Em F#m
giving lectures on integrity
Em F#
as models of moral purity
[Chorus 1]
A
well can you stand the irony
G A
oh the dignity of the office
D A Bm
it is erect and at the bottom of the sea
Em F#m
now we see what we truly are
G
and say we can do better than this
Gm
close your hand and make a fist
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Bm G
When i was just a litte boy, there
was no more noble I could aspire to
Em F#m
choose to be self-evident
Em F#
take an oath, become the president
[Verse 4]
Bm G
I believe that we the people have mostly good intentions
'cept for the one whose name we won't even mention
Em F#m
oh will his lies surely bury us
Em A
is the truth so much more nefarious
[Chorus 2]
G A
oh the dignity of the office
D A Bm
it is erect and at the bottom of the sea
G A
Now when we throw this burden off us
D A Bm
and restore some shred of dignity
Em F#m
now we see what we truly are
G
and say we can do better than this
Gm
close your hand and make a fist
