Hungry Freaks, Daddy

Not rated yet.

Mister America
Walk on by
Your schools that do not teach
Mister America
Walk on by
The minds that can't be reached
Mister America
Try to hide
The emptiness that's you inside
When once you find 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 sore 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 mind
The left-behinds
Of the Great Society
