Lyrics:
World War One is over now
Bolshevik Revolution
Communism spreading now
All thanks to Karl Marx
The proletariat rise
They’ve banned private property
Back in the United States
Most really don’t like this
Their fear was rising
Panic
All around them
Red Scare
I can’t trust you
Where you think you’re going baby?
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I think you are
A Commie maybe
You look suspicious
And a little lazy
I will report you
to the government maybe
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I think you are
A Commie maybe
And all the other Reds
Aren’t American
I will report you
to the government maybe
World War Two is over now
Soviet Union China
Like dominoes they all fall
U.S. is in their way
McCarthy pointing fingers
At first we believe him
Hollywood Ten blacklisted
They’re Un-American
They’re pointing fingers
They have
No evidence
Witch hunt
HUAC
Are you some kind of spy baby?
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I think you are
A Commie maybe
You look suspicious
And a little lazy
I will report you
to the government maybe
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I think you are
A Commie maybe
And all the other Reds
Aren’t American
I will report you
to the government maybe
Before you came into my life
I mistrusted you
I didn’t like you
I knew you were shady
Before you came into my life
I mistrusted you
I didn’t like you
I knew you were shady
It’s hard to trust you
You don’t conform
So I think you are
A Commie maybe
You look suspicious
And a little lazy
I will report you
to the government maybe
And all the other Reds
Aren’t American
I will report you
to the government maybe
Before you came into my life
I mistrusted you
I didn’t like you
I knew you were shady
Before you came into my life
I mistrusted you
I didn’t like you
You’re a Commie maybe
