[00:00.00] Bob Dylan - Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues(Live)
[00:17.52] Well I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue
[00:19.45] I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do
[00:22.59] Them Communists they was comin' around
[00:23.80] They was in the air
[00:25.68] They was on the ground
[00:27.14] They wouldn't gimme no peace
[00:37.11] So I run down most hurriedly
[00:38.92] And joined up with the John Birch Society
[00:43.28] I got me a secret membership card
[00:45.72] And started off a-walkin' down the road
[00:48.75] Yee-hoo I'm a real John Bircher now
[00:53.46] Look out
[01:02.52] Now we all agree with ******'s views
[01:04.70] Although he killed six million Jews
[01:07.02] It don't matter too much that he was a Fascist
[01:09.81] At least you can't say he was a Communist
[01:13.86] That's to say like if you got a cold
[01:15.88] you take a shot of malaria
[01:21.70] Well I was lookin' everywhere
[01:22.82] for them gol-darned Reds
[01:23.98] I got up in the mornin looked under my bed
[01:27.73] Looked in the sink behind the door
[01:29.86] Looked in the glove compartment of my car
[01:32.03] Couldn't find 'em
[01:41.26] I was lookin' high an' low
[01:43.39] for them Reds everywhere
[01:47.45] I was lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair
[01:49.43] I looked way up my chimney hole
[01:51.15] I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl
[01:53.99] They got away
[02:00.83] Well I was sittin' home alone an' started to sweat
[02:02.90] Figured they was in my TV set
[02:08.42] Peeked behind the picture frame
[02:09.68] Got a shock from my feet
[02:12.12] hittin' right up in the brain
[02:13.63] Them Reds caused it
[02:16.74] I know they did them hard-core ones
[02:28.59] Well I quit my job so I could work alone
[02:31.20] Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes
[02:32.77] Followed some clues from my detective bag
[02:36.71] And discovered they was red
[02:39.24] stripes on the American flag
[02:45.68] That ol' Betty Ross
[03:05.86] Lincoln Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
[03:09.10] To my knowledge there's just one man
[03:12.04] That's really a true American
[03:16.90] George Lincoln Rockwell
[03:21.00] I know for a fact he hates Commies
[03:23.78] cus he picketed the movie Exodus
[03:35.02] Well I finally started thinkin' straight
[03:37.65] When I run outa things to investigate
[03:41.00] Couldn't imagine doin' anything else
[03:43.33] So now I'm sittin' home investigatin' myself
[03:46.89] Hope I don't find out anything
[03:49.63] hmm great God
