Ride in style. First class. 'Course before you go you need an invitation To help Congress out in an investigation; A man comes around a-knocking at your door, And he'll give you a paper that says what for -- SUBPOENA -- Looking for un-Americans; Look in the mirror! Well, you brush your hair and you dress real pretty You've got a date with the Un-American Committee; You take the stand and they swear you in, Old Man Wood is wearing a grin -- Be thinks he's got you- He's got a short memory Can't recall what happened in Detroit. "Are you now or have you ever been, Were you ever sympathetic or interested in? When did you start, how long did it last, Tell us all about your interesting past -- Answer yes or no!" "Did you go to a meeting, did you sign a petition, Did you ever hold an executive position? Did you make a speech, did you carry a card, Did you ever hold a conference in your back yard?" FIFTH AMENDMENT! Now they were asking questions, but we wouldn't buy it, Like they did it in Detroit, it was time for us to try it; We added up the facts from the figures historical, And we asked a simple question which seems a bit rhetorical Mister Wood - "Are you now or have you ever been A Buzzard? (Or some similar epithet) You don't have to answer that question if you think it might tend to incriminate you. Now Mister Wood, get out of your rut, Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but? Well, Wood said he would, but we knew he wouldn't And even if he would, he damn well couldn't But that's Congress for you - Week in, week out, weak all over! Now Wood wasn't gonna rest on his laurels, He tried his best to corrupt our morals; He talked about Philbrick and Budenz too "They're getting theirs, now how about you?" Now I like chicken, and I like duck And I don't object to making a buck Well, I ain't got wings and I can't fly, But there's one bird that I won't buy -- Stool pigeon! I'm strictly in the market for doves of peace You all know that birds of a feather Have a habit of flocking together But listen MacCurran, Wood and the rest You won't use us to feather your nest That's strictly for the birds Now listen all you people, there's no doubt If you wanna be free, you gotta sing out Sing it strong, sing it clear Sing so loud those unamericans will hear That's my music - solid with a freedom beat And real gone! @political talking blues filename[ HUACOMM SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Tarry Sailor, Tarry Trousers, Tarry Wool, Tea Shanty, Ted Kennedy Song, Teddy Bears Picnic, Tee Roo, Tell Poor Lou Im Gone Nigger Lou, Telling Takes Me Home, Ten Oclock And All Is Well, Ten Thousand Cattle, Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle, Ten Thousand Miles, Tenderfoot, Tennessee Stud, Tenpound Radio, Tenting Tonight On The Old Campground, Terror Time, Test Of Time, TFfe Kule GuttegaeRne Jenter, Thais, That Crazy War, Thats Why We Praise Him, Thats What I want, Thats All, Thats The Ticket, Thats What You Get For Loving Me, The Ants Go Marching, The Candy Man, The Fields Of Athenry, The First Noel, The Girl From Ipanema Garota De Ipanema, The Grinch Song, The Little Drummer Boy, The Monkeys Disgrace, The Nails On Your Hands, The Pitch, The Record Company Bash, The Story Of The Rose Heart Of My Heart, Their Brains Were Small And They Died, Their Way, There Are No Flies On Us, There But For Fortune, There Is A Happy Land, There Is A Tavern In Town, There Is Power, There Were Roses, Therell Be A Hot Time, Therell Be A Hot Time, Therell Be No Distinction There, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
