   Could this be "The People Had No Faces," by The Bloos Magoos?   
   They later changed their name to The Blues Magoos and did more   
   of the psychedlic garage band thing, but I think their early   
   stuff was pretty traditional Greenwich Village folk-rock.   
      
   The song is available as a bonus track on the reissue of their   
   _Electric Comic Book_ album.
