The fear of the future
The best years behind you

[Pre-Chorus]

The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]

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
[Outro]
"In all the decisions I have made in my public life
