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
Frank Vincent Zappa (1940-1993) was an American musician, composer, record producer, and filmmaker considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
