《The Downtown Talent Scout》歌词

[00:00:02] Downtown Talent Scout - Frank Zappa

[00:00:10] The kids are freaking out

[00:00:14] Everybody's goin' nuts

[00:00:19] The heats out every night

[00:00:23] To call up names and kick thier butts

[00:00:27] But everytime you turn around

[00:00:31] You'll see some joker staring back

[00:00:35] He's got a secret tape recorder

[00:00:40] And a camera in a sack

[00:00:44] Pretending that he's just another

[00:00:48] Of the kiddies freaking out

[00:00:53] But they pay him off in acid

[00:00:56] Cos he's a downtown talent scout

[00:01:06] He's got your name

[00:01:08] And he's got your face

[00:01:10] He's got your ex-old lady's place

[00:01:14] He's here to see whats goin down

[00:01:18] And they don't believe the things he's found

[00:01:31] The badges gleam and the minors scream

[00:01:34] When he pulls on the scene

[00:01:38] They got no warrants in their pockets

[00:01:42] But that badge makes them supreme

[00:01:51] You kids are smoking dandelions

[00:01:56] You're sniffing paper bags baby

[00:01:59] You're dropping Good N' Plenties

[00:02:03] We can tell your posture sags

[00:02:08] Now line up here against the wall

[00:02:12] Your bodies frail and thin

[00:02:16] And open up your pockets

[00:02:20] While we dump the evidence in

[00:02:28] Well they know that smoking flowers

[00:02:32] Won't win a case in court

[00:02:36] And they know that Good N' Plenties

[00:02:40] Aren't the psychedelic sort

[00:02:45] But they tear your place apart

[00:02:49] Because they simply couldn't pass

[00:02:53] A chance to drag some freaks downtown

[00:02:58] For smoking devil grass

[00:03:09] Well you never get your day in court

[00:03:14] The food downtown is foul

[00:03:18] The day of trial you nearly die

[00:03:22] With maggots in your bowel

[00:03:26] But modern law and justice

[00:03:30] Has advanced to such a point

[00:03:34] That a jury trial is useless

[00:03:38] They simply take you to the joint

[00:03:42] Cause after all you look so freaky

[00:03:46] How could anyone believe

[00:03:51] That what you think and what you feel

[00:03:55] Comes close at all to what is real

[00:04:00] Blow your harmonica son
