Flakes

Frank Zappa

Lyrics Translation

Flakes, flakes
Flakes, flakes
They don't do no good
They never be workin' when they oughta should
They waste your time
They're wastin' mine
California's got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them

Swear to God they got the most
At every business on the coast, yeah
Swear to god they got the most
At every business on the coast
They got the flakes

Flakes, flakes

They can't fix your brakes
You ask 'em, "where's my motor?"
"Well, it was eaten by snakes"
You can stab and shoot and spit
But they won't be fixin' it
They're lyin' and lazy
They can be drivin' you crazy

Swear to god they got the most
At every business on the coast, yeah
Swear to god they got the most
At every business on the coast
Take it away, Bob

I asked as nice as I could
If my job would
Somehow be finished by Friday
Well, the whole damn weekend came and went, Frankie
Wanna buy some mandies, Bob?
You know what, they didn't do nothin'
But they charged me double for Sunday

Now, you know, no matter what you do
They gonna cheat and rob you
And then they'll give you a bill
That'll get your senses reelin'
And if you do not pay
They got computer collectors
That'll get you so crazy
'Til your head'll go through the ceilin'
Yes it will

I'm a moron and this is my wife
She's frosting a cake with a paper knife
All what we got here's American made
It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed
Well, we don't get excited when it crumbles 'n breaks
We just get on the phone and call up some Flakes
They rush on over and wreck it some more
And we are so dumb, they're linin' up at our door
Well, my toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says, "never flush a tampoon"
This great information cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up later on the next day, ay, ay
Yay, yay, yay
Yay, yay, yay
Yay, yay, yay
Blew up the next day
Woo

One, two, three, four

We're coming to get you
We're protected by unions
So don't let it upset you
Can't escape the conclusion
It's probably God's will
That civilization
Will grind to a standstill
And we are the people
Who will make it all happen
While your children is sleepin'
Your puppy is crappin'
You might call us flakes
Or something else you might coin us
We know you're so greedy
That you'll probably join us

Até sua cabeça passar pelo teto
Yes it will

Eu sou um idiota e esta é minha esposa
She's frosting a cake with a paper knife
Ela está cobrindo um bolo com uma faca de papel
All what we got here's American made
Tudo o que temos aqui é feito na América
It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed
É um pouco queijo, mas está bem exposto
Well, we don't get excited when it crumbles 'n breaks
Bem, nós não ficamos animados quando desmorona e quebra
We just get on the phone and call up some Flakes
Nós apenas pegamos o telefone e chamamos alguns flocos
They rush on over and wreck it some more
Eles correm para cá e estragam ainda mais
And we are so dumb, they're linin' up at our door
E nós somos tão burros, eles estão se alinhando na nossa porta
Well, my toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
Bem, meu vaso sanitário enlouqueceu ontem à tarde
The plumber he says, "never flush a tampoon"
