Песня: Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues
Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue,
I didn't know what in the world I wus gonna do,
Them Communists they wus comin' around,
They wus in the air,
They wus 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, you Commies!

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 you take a shot of malaria.

Well, I wus lookin' everywhere for them gol-darned Reds,
I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed,
Looked in the sink, behind the door,
Looked in the glove compartment of my car,
Couldn't find 'em...

I wus lookin' high an' low for them Reds everywhere,
I wus lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair,
I looked way up my chimney hole,
I even looked deep down inside my toilet bowl,
They got away...

Well, I wus sittin' home alone an' started to sweat,
Figured they wus in my T.V. 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 all alone,
Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes,
Followed some clues from my detective bag,
And discovered they wus red stripes on the American flag!
That ol' Betsy Ross...

Well, I investigated all the books in the library,
Ninety percent of 'em gotta be burned away,
I investigated all the people that I knowed,
Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go.
The other two percent are fellow Birchers... just like me.

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 cus he picketed the movie Exodus.

Well, I fin'ly 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!

Перевод песни:
Разговорный блюз о параноике из «Джона Бёрча»

Давеча стало мне грустно и тоскливо,
Никак я не знал, что ж мне делать,
А то ведь комуняки шастали повсюду,
В воздухе, значить, витали,
По земле ходили,
Никак меня в покое не оставляли...

В общем, помчался я что есть духу..... [открыть перевод]
