Align:    
  • Frank zappa (lead guitar, vocals)
  • Elliot ingber (rhythm guitar)
  • Roy estrada (bass)
  • Jimmy carl black (drums)
  • Ray collins (tambourine)
  • The kids are freaking out
  • Everybodys goin nuts
  • The heats out every night
  • To call up names and kick thier butts
  • But everytime you turn around
  • Youll see some joker staring back
  • Hes got a secret tape recorder
  • And a camera in a sack
  • Pretending that hes just another
  • Of the kiddies freaking out
  • But they pay him off in acid
  • Cos hes a downtown talent scout
  • Hes got your name
  • And hes got your face
  • Hes got your ex-old ladys place
  • Hes here to see whats goin down
  • And they dont believe the things hes found
  • The badges gleam and the minors scream
  • When he pulls on the scene
  • They got no warrants in their pockets
  • But that badge makes them supreme
  • You kids are smoking dandelions
  • Youre sniffing paper bags baby
  • Youre dropping good n plenties
  • We can tell your posture sags
  • Now line up here against the wall
  • Your bodies frail and thin
  • And open up your pockets
  • While we dump the evidence in
  • Well they know that smoking flowers
  • Wont win a case in court
  • And they know that good n plenties
  • Arent the psychedelic sort
  • But they tear your place apart
  • Because they simply couldnt pass
  • A chance to drag some freaks downtown
  • For smoking devil grass
  • Well you never get your day in court
  • The food downtown is foul
  • The day of trial you nearly die
  • With maggots in your bowel
  • But modern law and justice
  • Has advanced to such a point
  • That a jury trial is useless
  • They simply take you to the joint
  • Cause after all you look so freaky
  • How could anyone believe
  • That what you think and what you feel
  • Comes close at all to what is real
  • Blow your harmonica son
