Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues - Live at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA - May 1963

This is called "Talkin' John Birch paranoid blues"

I was feeling kinda a little down, blue

I didn't know what I was going to do

The communists was a-comin' around, they was in the air, they was on the ground

They was fallin' me all over

I run down most hurriedly

And joined the John Birch society

Got me a secret membership card, started walking home, found the road, yoo-hoo

I'm a real John Bircher now, look out

Now we all agree with Hitler'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, take a shot of malaria

I was lookin' everywhere for them gol-darned Reds

I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed

Looked behind the kitchen, behind the door

Looked in the glove compartment of my car

Couldn't find any

Looked behind the sink, behind the chair

I was lookin' for them Reds everywhere

I looked way up my chimney hole

Looked deep down inside my toilet bowl

They got away...

I was sittin' home alone an' started to sweat

I figured they was in my T.V. set

I peeked behind the picture frame

Got a shock from my feet, hit me right up in the brain

Them Reds did it!

Them hard-core ones

Well, I quit my job so I could work all alone

Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes

Followin' some clues from my detective bag

Discovered there was red stripes on the American flag!

Old Betty Ross...

Now Eisenhower, he's a Russian spy

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 'cause he picketed the movie "Exodus"

Well, I finally started thinkin' straight

When I ran outta things to investigate

I couldn't imagine anything else

So now I'm at home investigatin' myself

Hope I don't find out anything... good God!
