I was standing on the sidewalk, had a noise in my head.nThere were loudspeakers babbling, but nothing was said.nThere were twenty-seven companies of female Marines.nThere were presidential candidates in new Levis jeans.nIt was the red, white and blue planning how to endure.nThe fife, drum and bugle marching down on the poor.nGod bless America, without any doubt.nAnd I figured it was time to get out.nnWell I have to b'lieve that in between scenes, good people.nWent and got em done in the sun, good people.nTourist information said to get on the stick.nYou ain't moving 'til you're grooving with a Cubana chick.nSo I hopped on a plane, I took a pill for my brain,nand I discovered I was feeling all right.nWhen I strolled down the Prado, people looked at me weird.nWho's that hippy, hoppy character without any beard?nDrinking juice from papayas, singing songs to the trees.nDancing mambo on the beaches, spreading social disease.nnNow the Castro convertible was changing the style,na whole lot of action on a blockaded isle.nWhen along come a summons in the middle of night,nsaying, Buddy, we're about to indict.nWhen I went up on the stand with my hand, good people.nYou've got to tell the truth in the booth, good people.nI started out with information kind of remote.nWhen a patriotic mother dragged me down by the throat.nIf they ask you a question, they expect a reply!nDoesn't matter if you're fixin' to die.nnWell I was lying there unconscious feeling kind of exempt.nWhen the judge said that silence was a sign of contempt.nHe took out his gavel, banged me hard on the head.nHe fined me ten years in prison, and a whole lot of bread.nIt was the red, white and blue making war on the poor.nBlind mother justice, on a pile of manure.nSay your prayers and the Pledge of Allegiance every night.nAnd tomorrow, you'll be feeling all right.
