Hungry Freaks, Daddy
Frank Zappa / Mothers of Invention
| Mister America walk on by |
| Your schools that do not teach |
| Mister America walk on by |
| The minds that won't be reached |
| Mister America try to hide |
| The emptiness that's you inside |
| When once you find that the way you lied |
| And all the corny tricks you tried |
| Will not forestall the rising tide of |
| Hungry freaks, Daddy . . . |
| They won't go for no more |
| Great mid-western hardware store |
| Philosophy that turns away |
| From those who aren't afraid to say |
| What's on their minds |
| The left-behinds |
| Of the Great Society |
| Mister America walk on by |
| Your supermarket dream |
| Mister America walk on by |
| The liquor store supreme |
| Mister America try to hide |
| The product of your savage pride |
| The useful minds that it denied |
| The day you shrugged and stepped aside |
| You saw their clothes and then you cried: |
| THOSE HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY! |
| They won't go for no more |
| Great mid-western hardware store |
| Philosophy that turns away |
| From those who aren't afraid to say |
| What's on their minds |
| (The left-behinds of the Great Society) |
