	Story Behind the Song Ed wrote this song. Other band members have contributed lyrics. There are many verses on paper and in other recorded versions of this song. Everybody has something to say about Tricky Dick, some of it not poetic enough to justify lengthening the song. Perhaps significantly, this version is our shortest and most preferred. Lyrics It's a long way down To the bottom of the ladder I think I'm losing ground My head's spinning like a top Where are all my friends Where's everybody when you need them? Oh oh oh... Richard Milhous Nixon is my name All that they remember is my shame If they really think it matters, they're insane Hope they re-elect me just the same It's a long way down To the bottom of the barrel You know the one bad apple Is always on the top Where's all my friends Where's everybody when you need them Oh, oh, oh... Richard Milhous Nixon had it made Planter box of poppies in the shade Jostled all the branches, made it rain Flooded every office, left a stain... R.M.N. ... Your empty-headed forfeit You gave deceit your open hand In order to regain command R.M.N. ... You should have stayed in China It's colder there but you could share Your warmth with all the populace. R.M.N. ... Your nation lies before you A huddled mass, a screaming mob A hurricane of tears and sobs... R.I.P. R.M.N. (barely audible) ©1986 Crafft, Lundell
