Frank Zappa’s lyrics and other texts


Warning: this site is not recommended for children or Republicans


The music of THE MOTHERS speaks of the feelings of what might be described as THE VAST MINORITY. The feelings of the people on the fringe of everything … the ones who don’t care if they’re IN or OUT … don’t care if they’re HIP, HEP, SWINGING or ZORCH. This is the audience THE MOTHERS want to reach … those few who have the power within themselves to cause or motivate social change but have never used it for one reason or another.
If you are reading this and understand it (even if you have short hair and watch TV 18 hours a day), it is time that you realized WHO and WHAT YOU ARE. It is time you realized what the words to our songs mean

Your screen erupts with absurdities
Explodes with spine tingling psychological terror
The mere human mind boggles at the philosophical implications, as Frank Zappa’s words are unleashed in the totality of their pagan splendor
