Never forget that feds fear patriots more than anything. RIP Carl Klang, he brilliantly satirized the Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy to the tune of Sheb Wooley's 'The Purple People Eater'. I tuned my strings up half a step. Lyrics and chords are below.

Lyrics and chords:
(standard tuning, capo 3)
D A
Now it'll go down in history as a terrible day
D
When those Oklahoma bombs blew the building away
G
A hundred and sixty-nine people died
A D
While the media lashed out and the government lied

D A
The press and the FBI, they stirred it all up
D
When they blamed it on Iraqis in a brown pickup truck
G
But before they were through with their agenda that night
A D
They were blaming anybody who might lean to the right

D
They blamed those far right, wild eyed, anti-federal activists
A
Those mean, extreme, right wing domestic terrorists
D
Those hate-filled, ill-willed, demon white supremacists
A D
That's the enemy
A D
(But it sounds kinda strange to me)

(capo 5)

D A
As they whipped up the witch hunt for a second John Doe
D
I heard President Clinton blasting talk radio
G
Seems he wants me to turn in anybody I meet
A D
Who might listen to Chuck Carter as they drive down the street

D
'Cause they're a far-right, wild eyed, anti-federal activist
A
A genuine borderline neo-Nazi racialist
D
A Mossad, jihad, Christian fundamentalist
A D
That's the enemy
A D
(Which means it could be you or me)

(capo 7)
D A
Now there's so many questions that just won't go away
D
Like why the ATF didn't show for work on that day
G
When asked by a lady why they didn't show up
A D
They said: "If I were you ma'am, I would keep my mouth shut!"

D
And blamed those far-right, wild eyed, anti-federal activists
A
Those paranoid, Sigmund Freud, schizoid isolationists
D
(We like scapegoats) Christian fundamentalists
A D
They're the enemy!

D
Now if you're still a member of the NRA
A D
Then you best be very careful of the words that you say
G
You still can call your M14 a "hunting gun"
A D
But don't ever call a Federal cop a jackbooted thug

D
You'll be a far-right, wild eyed, anti-federal activist
A
A mean, extreme, right wing domestic terrorist
D
A hate-filled, ill-willed, demon white supremacist
A
A Mossad, jihad, Christian fundamentalist
D
A genuine, borderline neo-Nazi racialist
A
A brainwashed, camouflaged, crazy Christian patriot
D
A paranoid, Sigmund Freud, schizoid isolationist
A
A homophobe, xenophobe, rabid anti-Semitist
