talking kkk blues - townes van zandt lyrics

Loading...

well i was born in mississippi
on a fine spring day
i quit second grade
joined the kkk
the recruiter said
“sorry man, there ain’t no way
you got too d-mned much education”

i said
“please sir, please
you gotta take me
‘cuz i believe in the bible and democracy
i believe all real americans oughtta be free
i believe in jesus and the great salvation.”

he said
“i don’t know kid.”
said
“i make a pretty good molotov c-cktail, too”
and he said
“you’re in.”

well it’s not all the blacks we gotta worry about
it’s the poor white trash
jaqueline kennedy and john lindsay

well he gave me a hood
that looked real neat
gave me a big ol’ long white sheet
it hit the floor and tucked under my feet

he said
“that’s so it won’t leave no toe prints.”
i said
“man, i never did realize that anything could be so secretized.”
he said
“yes sir, so our breath won’t be recognize at the meetings we burn incense.”
said
“cr-p man, that’s kinda extreme.”
he just grinned and thanked me

well i had a bad day when i first started off
i had a miserable failure on my first molotov
didn’t explode and all the fellas scoffed
through it in a church and it just fizzed

out comes this boy and he hits me with a right
then he gives me a left with all of his might
i said
“hang on a minute man, you’re not supposed to fight.”
and my eyes turned as black as his

d-mn bully’s what he was
and a barbarian

well now don’t ask me how i got to where i am
working in the office of the head klan man
mr. sheldon ’bout got k!lled in birmingham
but he’s invincible, pretty near

how i got so important is kinda hard to say
i guess my award kinda paved the way
it’s an award you just don’t get everyday
they made me bigot of the year
‘course, i don’t like to brag about it none
it’s all in a day’s prejudice
