Download mp3 - God & the FBI : Janis Ian
mama’s
making mimeos
pete’s on the stereo
singing ‘bout freedom
bugs in the bedroom
big investigation
be patient
bet you didn’t know
you were a danger to the nation
search and seizure
buy yourself a lawyer
we know you’re a member
saw you under cover
are you hiding evidence
none of this makes any sense
(chorus)
they called the fbi
I had to disappear
called the g-men, t-men, see you at the scene men
told ‘em I was hiding here
they could fingerprint my heart
they’d tear my world apart
‘cause ain’t no place for a face to hide
from god and the fbi
commies, pinkos
reds at the windows
foreign agitators
running elevators
j. Edgar hoover in a pink tutu
investigating anyone who thinks like you
welcome to the fifties
you look a little shifty
they called the fbi
I had to disappear
called the g-men, t-men, see you at the scene men
told ‘em I was hiding here
they could fingerprint my heart
tear my world apart
ain’t no hole for a soul to hide
from god and the fbi
stay flat, don’t rat
what’s a proletariat
stalin was a democrat
washington is where it’s at
every politician
is a sewer of ambition
hide me, hide you
better hide the baby too
we demand an interview
how long have you been a jew
we can make you testify
freedom is no alibi
they called the fbi
I had to disappear
called the g-men, t-men, see you at the scene men
told ‘em I was hiding here
fingerprint my heart
tear my world apart
‘cause ain’t no place for a face to hide
from god and the fbi
