Mister Peepers

   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

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
Continues after the ad
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

[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?
       C
We'll see
       Bb
Right now

[Verse 5]
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…
               Dm   C  F  C F
Lord help us all
