Teenage Nervous Breakdown `69 Lyrics

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
