DESCRIPTION:
SIDE ONE (Track 03) - written by Frank Zappa

"Freak Out!" is the mainstream debut of studio musician Frank Zappa and his band The Mothers of Invention. It is considered as one of the first concept albums in rock music, as well as being the second double-album (Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" being the first).

The album is notable for its satirical and experimental content that would be the bedrock of many Mothers albums (and future Zappa solo releases) to come.

Originally issued on Verve Records in June 1966.


LYRICS:

Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

What will you do if we let you go home,
And the plastic's all melted,
And so is the chrome?
Who are the brain police?

Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

What will you do when the label comes off,
And the plastic's all melted,
And the chrome is too soft?

[screams]

Think I'm very tired and I'm going to die.
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(Die...)
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(I'm going to die...)
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(Die...)
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(Going to die...)
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(Die...)
I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.
(Die...)
I think I'm going to...

Who are the brain police?
Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

Ah... Ahh...
Ahh... Ah...

What will you do if the people you knew
Were the plastic that melted,
And the chromium too?
Who are the brain police?
