        Phil Ochs had a good song about it too.

        And here’s to the government of Mississippi

        In the swamp of their bureaucracy they’re always bogging down

        And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns

        And they hope that no one sees the sights

        And no one hears the sounds

        And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown

        Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of

        Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of

        And here’s to the laws of Mississippi

        Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay

        While the Constitution’s drowning in an ocean of decay

        Unwed mothers should be sterilized, I’ve even heard them say

        Yes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi way

        Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of

        Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of
