Bob Dylan - Hiding Too Long lyrics

Come you phoney super patriotic people that say That hatin' and fearing is my only way That this here country has got to be You're thinkin' of yourselves, you ain't thinkin' of me You're not thinkin' of any George Washington You're not thinkin' of any Thomas Jefferson But you say that you are and you lie and mislead You use their names for aims, for your selfish greed Don't speak to me of your patriotism When you throw the Southern black boy in prison An' you say that the only good n******gs are the ones that have died Don't think I'll ever stand on your side Though you make it so hard for me to love My face will never feel the slap of your glove My cards will never buy.. My hands will never buy the cards that you play My feet will never walk down the road that you lay Get out in the open, stop standin' afar Let the whole world see what a hypocrit you are I ain't jokin' and it ain't no gag You bin hidin' too long behind the American flag
