[Bruce Cockburn - Call Me Rose lyrics]

My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
You wouldn't know it but I used to
Be the king of the world
Compared to last time I look
Like I've hit the skids
Living in the project with my two little kids
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose

I was the boss of bosses the last time around
I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
The suckers said they'd stand behind
Me right or wrong
As if they thought that hubris was
The mark of the strong i was an arrogant man
But now I've got it in hand
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose

Call me Rose call me Rose
It's not what I would have chose

Now you have to call me Rose

My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
You wouldn't know it but I used to
Be the king of the world
I'm back here learning what it is to be poor
To have no power but the strength to endure
I'll perform my penance well
Maybe the memoir will sell
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose
Now you have to call me Rose
