Thread Name: Lyr Add: Conservative ballads
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Conservative ballads
Well there's always Dylan's Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues

Maybe it's time someone updated it. For example:

I wus lookin' high and low for them Reds everywhere
I was looking' in the sink an' underneath the chair.
I looked way up my chimney hole,
I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl.
They got away...


Somehow sounds very topical, except it's not Reds this time.

Yeah, I know this has drifted a bit of a way from "conservative ballads".
