He was speaking not just for himself
Not just for the three who made this trip
But for 400,000 men and women
Who at one time or another had played the part
Of making this spectacular feat
Top brass
It is rather fashionable these days
To speak of the man as a class apart
He knows the hardware
Top brass
I have never thought of it that way
That is set at the top brass
We cannot make this attack
My men are tired
My men are disheartened
We cannot make this attack
My men are tired
My men are disheartened
Their morale is low
Your men are not tired
Your men are not disheartened
Their morale is not low
Relieve
Relieve
Relieve
You are tired
Your morale is low
I am going to relieve you

People are remembered not
For what they do but for what they say
Can't you find a few good lines
Can't you find a few good lines
I've said a lot of good things too
You know damn well
Well,
His brains are negligible
But he's not hostile
He says he's not
He'll willing to help
He's excited
He's excited to help
Actually
I think he's
A pretty decent guy
Oh,
No question
He's really pretty shallow
Doesn't he know
These battles
We fight and fight and fight?
Doesn't he know
These battles
We fight and fight and fight?
People are remembered not
For what they do but what they say
Can't you find a few good lines
Can't you find a few good lines
Doesn't he know
These battles
We fight and fight and fight?
Doesn't he know
These battles
We fight and fight and fight?
It shows
You how a man of
Limited
Mental capacity
Simply
Doesn't know that the Christ is going on
Doesn't know that the Christ is going on
Doesn't know that the Christ is going on
People are remembered
People are remembered
Not for what they do
But for what they say
People are remembered
Not for what they do
But for what they say
But for what they say
But for what they say

Now let's go look at our photos
I appreciate
That you are very articulate
And energetic
Now let's go look at our photos
Take a look at this kitchen
This is our newest model
Designed to take advantage of
New inventions
If that's the way it is
I am
Holding you
To it
I want you to give me your word
I want you to give me your word
I want to be
Unwavering
I want to be
Unwavering
I want to be
What we want to do
Is make life easy
Take a look at this kitchen
This is our newest model
Designed to take advantage of
New inventions
Are you angry
You look very angry

You look very angry
As if you want to fight me
Are you still angry
You look very angry
As if you want to fight
I want to be unwavering
I want to be unwavering
I want to be unwavering

I ask you
To accept this
Challenge with me
Not as grim duty
But an exciting
Adventure
Let us begin
By committing ourselves
To
The Truth
See it like it is
Tell it like it is
That is what
We
Will
Do
We make great history tonight
And this is their answer
And this is their answer
And this is their answer
And this is mine
Tonight, I see the face of a child
Feeds his stomach
Starves his soul
Breaks his heart
May take his life
I see another child
He hears the train go by at night
Quaker mom
Courageous wife
And tonight he stands
And tonight he stands
He stands
Stands
Not for ourselves
But for the
Ages
Not for ourselves
But for the
Ages
Not for ourselves
But for the
Ages
Not for ourselves
But for the
Ages
Not for ourselves
But for the
Ages

Victory Hands Atlanta, Georgia
Victory Hands are an Atlanta-based quartet (previously trio) of veteran musicians playing angular rhythms and anthemic melodies with lyrics taken straight from the tapes and speeches of Richard Milhous Nixon. The paranoia, stilted language and rah-rah aggression of Nixon and cohorts combines with intricate music to create an oddly compelling form of abstract punk-rock poetry. ... more
