Pearl Jam played this song on Storytellers.  Its a cover of a Phil Ochs tune from around
Civil Rights movement called "Here's to the State of Mississippi" but then in the early
with Vietnam he rewrote it and called it "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon".  So 
played his version and it goes something like this.
