[Verse 1]
F Bb F
God bless the bureaucrat and the lawyer, too
Dm Bb
They're public punching bags. But someone’s gotta do it
Gm F C Dm
It's not so sexy, the procedure or the truth
F C Bb F
I say God bless the bureaucrat and the lawyer, too
[Verse 2]
Bb F C F
The House Intelligence Committee piles on
Dm C Bb
They'd love to know what Rosenstein has on the boss
Gm F E Dm C
But it’s just for cameras, yeah, it's just a show of force
F C Bb F
Y'all know he can't comply, But that's the point, of course
[Chorus 1]
Dm F
So they call him Mister Peepers
C Am
As the thugs all smash his glasses
Dm F
Going full Lord of the Flies
C A
Burning this island down to ashes
Dm F C Am
What's the rule of law if we can't agree on what a fact is?
Dm F C
There ain't nothing here to see, folks, move along, move along
[Solo]
Dm C Bb Am Gm F
[Verse 3]
F
Thank God for facts
Bb F
They’re stubborn things indeed
Dm C Bb
But little cowboys will try cases on TV
Gm F
It doesn’t make it so,
C Dm C
Because you make believe
F C F Bb F
You can't lose in court and appeal on Hannity
[Verse 4]
F C F
The distinguished wrestler from Ohio,
Dm C Bb
He’s free to lie, he's not the one who's under oath
Gm F
The law don't suit the boss
C Dm
This Deputy must go
F C F
We got him in the locker room, boys
Bb F
Start the show
[Chorus 2]
Dm F
So they call him Mister Peepers
C Am
Send some thugs to smash his glasses
Dm F
If he’s gone and peeped the wrong thing
C A
Then they'll burn his name to ashes
Dm F
What's the rule of law
C Am
If we can't establish what a fact is?
Dm F C
There ain't nothing here to see, folks, move along, ah move along
F C Bb F Gm F
C F Gm Dm C
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
They say it dies in the dark
C Gm
Right now, they're trying to kill it in broad daylight
Bb Dm
Can flashlights really fight bombs?

Right now

F
You boys are Christians, right?
Bb F
What would Jesus do?
Dm C Bb
Would he bury crimes and carry water like a stooge?
Gm F C Dm
Or smear a family man in case he tells the truth
F C
About the boss?
F Bb F
Yeah, what would Jesus do?
[Chorus 3]
Dm F
Would he call him Mister Peepers?
C Am
Send some thugs to smash his glasses?
Dm F
The institution's standing tall
C A
Though we tried our best to trash it
Dm F
Aren't we all the keepers
C Am
Of this fragile young Republic?
Dm F C
And when all those Mister Peepers people fall…
