The idiot bastard son
(THE FATHER'S A NAZI IN CONGRESS TODAY
THE MOTHER'S A HOOKER SOMEWHERE IN L.A.)
The idiot bastard son
(ABANDONED TO PERISH IN BACK OF A CAR
KENNY WILL STASH HIM AWAY IN A JAR)
THE IDIOT BOY!
(all the time he would spend at the church he'd attend...
warming his pew)
Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
THE CHILD WILL THRIVE & GROW
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know
What this is about
(YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING... maybe so)
The song we sing, DO YOU KNOW?
We're listening...
THE IDIOT BOY!
(all the time he would spend all the colors he'd blend...
where are they now?)
Frank Zappa - 14 - The idiot bastard son (02:44)
Frank Zappa We're only in it for the money
Does anyone else notice that around 4:20.. drum, bass and keyboard start playning this repeating tune? It's the same as the backing music on 'Soup 'N Old Clothes' from the Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar Album... Actually I just found out that 'Soup 'N Old Clothes' IS a solo from The Illinois Enema Bandit, but from a version performed in Santa Monica, December 11, 1980 ... really interesting

This is the true "alternative"... right up there with Tom Waits, Primus, etc. Too bad record companies are only interested in dollars...the music should come first! It is called the "music" business, not the "business" business!

Wackerman is great, but Bozzio played the hell out of this song on the Live album.
