Bob Dylan - Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues - Live at Brandeis University Lyrics

Under the hedges.
Well I got up in the morning and looked under my bed
I was lookin' everyplace for them goldarn reds
Looked behind the sink and under the floor

Looked in the glove compartment of my car, couldn't find any.
Looked behind the clothes, behind the chair
Lookin for them reds everywhere

Looked up my chimney hole even deep down inside my toilet bowl, they got away.
Well I heard some footprints by the front porch door so I grabbed my shotgun from
the floor,
Snuck around the house with a huff and a hiss, saying "Hands up you communist!"

It was the mailman.
He punched me out.
Well I was sitting home alone and I started to sweat,
I figured they was in my TV set
I peeped behind the picture frame, got a shock from my feet that hit my brain

Them reds did it.
Hootenanny television.
I quit my job so I could work alone,
Got a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes.
Following some clues from my detective bag, I discovered

Red stripes in the American flag!
Betsy Ross.
Now Eisenhower he's a Russian spy
Lincoln and Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
And to my knowledge there's just one man
That's really and truly an American
And that's George Lincoln Rockwell.
I know for a fact he hates commies, cos he picketed the movie 'Exodus'.
Well I finally started thinking straight when I run out of things to investigate
Couldn't imagine nothing else so now I'm home, investigating myself.
Hope I don't find out too much.
Good God.
