Lyrics.
The title song from the new album:
"IT'S A FREAK COUNTRY"
It's a freak country
A freak, freak country
And getting freakier all the time
There's nothing like it
Down through the ages
Aren't you glad it's yours and mine?
It's the home of the unwanted
It's the land of the lost
No people started out here
Over earth and sea they crossed
Whatever your stripe
Whatever your hue
All kinds are welcome
Under the red, white and blue
We've got cowboys and playboys and farmboys and busboys and tons of tomboys
We've got punks and drunks and lunks and hunks and folks in deep funks
We've got Larry, Curly and Moe's and bro's and ho's and loads of no shows
We've got holy rollers and fanatic bowlers and rebels in strollers and green-haired rock 'n' rollers
You can be wild and wacky
Or you can play it straight
But it's live and let live
In these United States
Everyone's an aristocrat
Everyone's nobility
In this crazy nation
This country tis of thee
We've got computer geeks and pinball freeks and money sheiks with jowly cheeks
We've got nudes and prudes and dudes and pseuds and folks with attitudes
We've got bikers and hikers and strikers and pikers and too many on Rikers
We've got Mickey Mouse and your boss the louse and the people in your house and your loving spouse!
In this free country, this free free country
That's getting freakier all the time
There's nothing like it down through ages
Aren't you glad it's yours and mine?
