Teenage Nervous Breakdown '69 Lyrics

-- Lowell George 

Some contend that rock and roll 
Is bad for the body and bad for the soul 
Bad for the heart, bad for the mind, 
Bad for the deaf and bad for the blind 
  
It makes some men crazy and then they talk like fools 
Some men crazy and then they start to drool 
  
When the sky is all cast over, and the stars refuse to shine 
Pigs are fallin' in the swamps, the lizard's on the vine 
Frank from knees is fallin' fam ba deema quirk 
The sky is turning yellow and the birds are fallin' down 
When it's several planes of Egypt strikes you in your tracks 
Led by sorrow stolen down in East LA 
When they keep your spinners and take your tires away 
When you get your last presecription from your favorite quack 
You know that it is written, you know what it can mean 
It's like livin' in an airport underneath a plane 
It's like sleepin' on a freeway in the center lane 
  
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
