I'll tell you the story of John Henry Faulk. I'll tell you of his trials and the troubled trail he walked, And I'll tell of the tyrants, the ones you never see: Murder is the role they play and hatred is their fee. On the TV and the radio, John Henry Faulk was known. He talked to many thousands with a mind that was his own, But he could not close his eyes when the lists were passed around, So he tried to move the Union to tear the blacklist down. His friends they tried to warn him he was headin' for a fall. If he spoke against the blacklist he had no chance at all, But he laughed away their warnings and he laughed away their fears: For how could lies destroy the work of many honest years? Then slowly, oh so slowly, his life began to change. People would avoid his eyes, his friends were actin' strange, And he finally saw the power of the hidden poison pen When they told him that his job was through, he'd never work again. And he could not believe what his sad eyes had found. He stared in disbelief as his world came tumblin' down, And as the noose grew tighter, at last the trap was clear: For every place he turned to go, that list would soon be there Oh, that list. And is there any bottom to the fears that grow inside? Is there any bottom to the hate
