Teen‐Age Wind Songtext
von Frank Zappa

It′s a miserable friday night
I'm so lonely
And nobody′ll give me a ride
To the grateful dead concert... oh rats!

I got to be free, free as the wind
Free is the way, I got to be
Maybe I'm lost, maybe I sinned
I got to be totally free

Our parents don't love us, our teachers they say
Things that are boring so we′re running away
And we will be free and people will see
That when we are free, that′s the way we should be

Parents, parents, friends (nothing left to do but get out the 'ol glue)
Parents, parents (sniff it good now)
Parents, parents, friends
Parents, parents


I got to be free, free as the wind
Free is the way, I got to be
Maybe I′m lost, maybe I sinned
I got to be totally free

Our parents don't love us, our teachers they say
Things that are boring so we′re running away
And we will be free and people will see
That when we are free, that's the way we should be

(We must be free) the glue! I can′t find the glue!
(We must be free as the wind) if I was at the concert now, I'd be ripped!
(We were free when we were born) I could tighten my headband for an extra rush
(We were born free but now, we are not free anymore) during Jerry's guitar-solo
Then I could go to a midnite show of 200 motels!

Do you wanna be free (Opal, you hot little bitch!)
So we′re gonna be free (you can take this pin n′ hang it in ya ass)
Do you wanna be free (you ain't the devil)
So we′re gonna be free (where's my waitress?)

Did you know that
Free is when you don′t have to pay for nothing
Or do nothing, we want to be free
Free as the wind


Free is when you don't have to pay for nothing
Or do nothing, we want to be free
Free as the wind

Free is when you don′t have to pay for nothing
Or do nothing, we want to be free
Free as the wind

Free is when you don't have to pay for nothing
Or do nothing
We wanna (yeah), we wanna (yeah)
We wanna (yeah), we wanna be free
We wanna (yeah), we wanna (yeah)
We wanna (yeah), we wanna be free

We gotta (yeah), we gotta (yeah)
We gotta (yeah), we gotta be free
We gotta (yeah), we gotta (yeah)
We gotta (yeah), we gotta be free

We gotta (gotta), gotta (gotta)
Gotta be free, gotta be free, gotta be free (yeah)
We gotta (gotta), gotta (gotta)
Gotta be free, gotta be free, gotta be free (yeah, yeah)
We gotta (gotta), gotta (gotta)
Gotta be free, gotta be free, gotta be free (yeah, yeah)
We gotta (gotta), gotta (gotta)
Gotta be free, gotta be free, gotta be free (yeah)
