lyrics

If I see something I don’t understand, I just walk way
If I get something I do not want I throw it away
Well I can’t get no relief and all the good ones are freaks these days
If I meet someone I do not respect I just walk away

If I see something that frightens me I just run away
And if I meet someone who’s different I push them away
Well I’m standing in the doorway trying to keep the rain from falling today
And I get so angry I can’t speak and all the good ones are freaks these days


repeat entire second verse for harmonica solo


I’m looking for someone who’s normal is all I can say
All their problems, and preferences, and policies all get in the way
I’m saying who I wanna love, or like, or be friends with is strange
What happened to the good old days when all the good ones are freaks these days
