Verse 2
The kids are freaking out
Everybody's goin' nuts (D major)
(A minor) The heats out every night
To call up names and kick their butts
(D minor) But (A minor) everytime you turn around
You'll see some joker staring back
(D major) He's got a (A minor) secret tape recorder
And a camera in a sack
Pretending that he's just another
Of the kiddies freaking out
But they pay him off in acid
'cause he's a downtown (D major) talent (A minor) scout

Verse 3
(A minor)
He's got your name
And he's got your face
He's got your ex- old lady's place
He's here to see what's goin down
And they don't believe the things
(D major) he's found
(A minor)
Verse 4
The badges gleam and the
minors scream
When he pulls on the scene
They got no warrants in their pockets
Verse 5
But that badge makes them supreme
(A minor)
You kids are smoking
dandelions
You're sniffing paper bags baby
You're dropping good n' plenties
We can tell your posture sags
Now line up here against the wall
Your bodies frail and thin
And open up your pockets
Verse 6
While we dump the evidence in
(A minor)
Well they know that smoking flowers
Won't win a case in court
And they know that good n' plenties
Aren't the (D minor) psychedelic sort (D major)
(A minor) But they tear your place apart
Because they simply couldn't pass (D major)
A (A minor) chance to drag some freaks
downtown
Interlude 1
For smoking devil grass
(A minor) (D major) (A minor)
Verse 7
Well you (A minor) never get your day in court (D minor)
(A minor) The food downtown (D minor) is foul (A minor)
The day of trial you nearly die (D minor)
With (A minor) mag gots (D minor) in your bowel (A minor) (D major)
But modern (D major) law and justice (A minor) (D major)
Has advanced (D major) to such a point (A minor) (D major)
That a jury trial is use (D major) less
They simply take you to the joint
Cause (D major) after
Verse 8
all (D major) you look so freaky (D major)
How could anyone believe
That what you think and what you feel
Comes close at all to what is real
Blow your harmonica son
