Tryin' to Grow a Chin (1976-01-20: Sydney, Australia) Songtext
von Frank Zappa

Hey! I′m only fourteen
Sickly 'n′ thin
Tried all of my life
Just to grow me a chin
It popped out once
But my dad pushed it in
Why did he hurt me?
He's my next of kin...
He's a mex-i-kin


I′m lonely ′n' green
Too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here
I could feature my hurt
Scared of the future
Hope I don′t grow
I know nobody likes me
'Cause everywhere I go
They say NO
They say NO
They say NO

Now I′m older
Got a place in the town, babe
Got a chin on my shoulder
'N′ it keeps growing down 'n' down ′n′ down
I'm horny ′n' lonely
′N' I wish I was dead
Why am I livin′?
I wanna be dead instead
That's right, I said
I wanna be dead instead
Now dig this:

I wanna be dead
In bed
Please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
In bed
Please kill me
′Cause that would thrill me
