Well I was born in Mississippi |
|
On a fine Spring day |
|
I quit second day, |
|
Joined the KKK, |
|
The recruiter said, |
|
"Sorry man, there ain't no way. |
|
You got too damned much education" |
|
I said, |
|
"Please sir, please, |
|
You gotta take me |
|
'Cuz I believe in the bible and democracy |
|
I believe all real Americans oughtta be free |
|
I believe in Jesus and the great salvation." |
|
He said, |
|
"I don't know kid." |
|
Said, |
|
"I make a pretty good molotov cocktail, too" |
|
And he said, |
|
"You're in." |
|
Well it's not all the blacks we gotta worry about |
|
It's the poor white trash |
|
Jaqueline Kennedy and John Lindsey |
|
Well he gave me a hood |
|
That looked real neat |
|
Gave me a big ol' long white sheet |
|
It hit the floor and tucked under my feet |
|
He said, |
|
"That's so it won't leave no toe prints." |
|
I said, |
|
"Man, I never did realize that anything could be so secretized." |
|
He said, |
|
"Yes sir, so our breath won't be recognize at the meetings we burn incense." |
|
Said, |
|
"Crap man, that's kinda extreme." |
|
He just grinned and thanked me. |
|
Well I had a bad day when I first started off |
|
I had a miserable failure on my first molotov |
|
Didn't explode and all the fellas scoffed |
|
Through it in a church and it just fizzed |
|
Out comes this boy and he hits me with a right |
|
Then he gives me a left with all of his might |
|
I said, |
|
"Hang on a minute man, you're not supposed to fight." |
|
And my eyes turned as black as his |
|
Damn bully's what he was |
|
And a barbarian |
|
Well now don't ask me how I got to where I am |
|
Working in the office of the head Klan man |
|
Mr. Sheldon 'bout got killed in Birmingham |
|
But he's invincible, pretty near |
|
How I got so important is kinda hard to say |
|
I guess my award kinda paved the way |
|
It's an award you just don't get everyday |
|
They made me Bigot of the Year |
|
'Course, I don't like to brag about it none |
|
It's all in a day's prejudice. |
