the red scare

Crank the voltage
It smells like murder but isn’t quite
The end of a marriage
The Rosenbergs’ plight
Who’s to declare it?
Who’s not a red?
If the shoe fits wear it
If the shoe fits you’re dead
Justice for Sacco and Vanzetti
Clear cut cases
Justice cuts us to confetti
Lock up other races
Commies are spies
Writers love anarchy
Pamphlets are lies
Threats to your oligarchy
Your way of life
So build a file
Plant a knife
And shoot that smile
