god & the fbi (live) lyrics
[verse 1]
mamma’s makin’ mimeos, pete’s on the stereo
singing ’bout freedom, bugs in the bedroom
big investigation—danger to the nation
search and seizure, better buy 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
they called the t+men, g+men, see+you+at+the+scenе men
told ’em i was hiding herе
they could fingerprint my heart
i knew it from the start
ain’t no place for a face to hide
from god and the fbi

[verse 2]
you got commies, pinkos, reds at the windows
foreign agitators running elevators
j. edgar hoover in a pink tutu
investigating anyone who thinks like a+you
so welcome to the fifties
you look a little shifty
[chorus]
they called the fbi
i had to disappear
called the t+men, g+men, dna+the+scene men
told ’em i was hiding here
they could fingerprint my heart
i knew it from the start
ain’t no hole for a soul to hide
from god and the fbi

[verse 3]
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—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”

[chorus]
call out the fbi
i have to disappear
call the t+men, g+men, see+you+at+the+scene men
tell ’em i am hiding here
they can fingerprint my heart
i knew it from the start
ain’t no place for a face to hide
from god and the fbi
