The communists as termites Work in darkness underground Impelled by some dark motive A conspiracy profound With fanatic dedication They work while others sleep Until the structure totters And collapses in a heap Their strength is in their patience A little at a time Who'd think so small an insect Could cause so great a crime Because their work is hidden Some say they don't exist While others write the damage Quite heedless off their list So blissfully indifferent As blind as blind can be They welcome grim disaster And embrace catastrophe As the snake ensnares a rabbit In some hypnotic womb Some subtle soul paralysis Draws millions to their doom With arrogant assurance This challenge they have hurled That no one can prevent them From conquering the world In nation after nation And here within our own These hidden termites labor till The country's overthrown They hide their devilish purpose With trickery and guile They mask their murderous malice With innocence and smiles Disregard this hidden danger Neglect this plague today And some tomorrow morning Your world will melt away We can survive my brother In times of fear like these We must protect our freedom Against our enemies Reveal the hidden danger For everyone to see With knowledge and devotion We'll save our liberty
