Bob Dylan - Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues(Live)
Well I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue
I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do
Them Communists they was comin' around
They was in the air
They was on the ground
They wouldn't gimme no peace
So I run down most hurriedly
And joined up with the John Birch Society
I got me a secret membership card
And started off a-walkin' down the road
Yee-hoo I'm a real John Bircher now
Look out
Now we all agree with ******'s views
Although he killed six million Jews
It don't matter too much that he was a Fascist
At least you can't say he was a Communist
That's to say like if you got a cold
you take a shot of malaria
Well I was lookin' everywhere
for them gol-darned Reds
I got up in the mornin looked under my bed
Looked in the sink behind the door
Looked in the glove compartment of my car
Couldn't find 'em
I was lookin' high an' low
for them Reds everywhere
I was lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair
I looked way up my chimney hole
I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl
They got away
Well I was sittin' home alone an' started to sweat
Figured they was in my TV set
Peeked behind the picture frame
Got a shock from my feet
hittin' right up in the brain
Them Reds caused it
I know they did them hard-core ones
Well I quit my job so I could work alone
Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes
Followed some clues from my detective bag
And discovered they was red
stripes on the American flag
That ol' Betty Ross
Lincoln Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
To my knowledge there's just one man
That's really a true American
George Lincoln Rockwell
I know for a fact he hates Commies
cus he picketed the movie Exodus
Well I finally started thinkin' straight
When I run outa things to investigate
Couldn't imagine doin' anything else
So now I'm sittin' home investigatin' myself
Hope I don't find out anything
hmm great God
