*(Verse 1)* It’s 1972, yeah, I'm bringin' it back, To the D.C. streets where the news attacked. Got Nixon in the house, playin’ sneaky and sly, But the people lookin’ close, see the truth in his eye. They broke in, tapped lines, not a single thing clean, Five dudes in the dark, all caught on the scene. “Follow the money,” that’s what Deep Throat said, ‘Cause these White House ties 'bout to turn blood red. *(Chorus)* Watergate breakdown, secrets on tape, Hidin’ in the shadows but there’s no escape. Spies in the night, got the whole world shook, Nixon on the run, yeah, he's writin' the book. *(Verse 2)* Woodward and Bernstein, reporters on the case, Diggin’ through files, bringin' heat to the place. Calls and cash trails, it was all on display, The White House crew, man, they got no say. But the lies stack up like bricks on a wall, And Nixon starts sweatin' as the truth starts to fall. He said, “I am not a crook!” but the tapes don’t lie, Got the whole U.S. seein' through that disguise. *(Chorus)* Watergate breakdown, secrets on tape, Hidin’ in the shadows but there’s no escape. Spies in the night, got the whole world shook, Nixon on the run, yeah, he's writin' the book. *(Bridge)* In the Oval Office, got the tapes rollin’ hot, Secrets in the back that the people forgot. From the Watergate hotel to the Capitol Hill, With a scandal so big, it’s a national thrill. *(Verse 3)* So Nixon stepped down, yeah, he couldn’t stay, The first to resign, had to walk away. But the truth lit the fire in the heart of the nation, No more lies, no more manipulation. Now it's history in books and the lessons are clear, When power plays dirty, we all gotta cheer. It’s the people who rise when the truth breaks loose, In the court of the public, that’s the ultimate truce. *(Chorus)* Watergate breakdown, secrets on tape, Hidin’ in the shadows but there’s no escape. Spies in the night, got the whole world shook, Nixon on the run, yeah, he's writin' the book. *(Outro)* So keep it real, keep it true, that’s the lesson we take, From the scandal and the lies that made the nation quake. Watergate taught us to fight and to see, That nobody's above the people’s decree.
