Freak Flag (Commentary)

Give me a spool of thread and I'll make the Golden Gate

You got a bag of rocks, well, I'll pave the interstate

With a busted-up log, I'll build the Hoover Dam

I got a homemade rocket in my pocket, I'm a goddamn Uncle Sam

People are weird and so am I

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

No, I really don't care how you get high

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

Let your freak flag fly

Want perfect teeth and a deep, dark, healthy tan

Wanna congo on the beach in Afghanistan

Wanna win the Powerball so I can start a war

Between where and when, us and them, after and before

People are weird and so am I

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

No, I really don't care how you get high

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

Let your freak flag fly

Give me a chance at love and a gold-top Coupe de Ville

Give me a "never did" and I swear, I always will

You like throwing stones, but your house is made of glass

And your big ol' mouth keeps writing checks that your ass can't cash

People are weird and so am I

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

No, I really don't care how you get high

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

No, I really don't care how you get high

Lay it on down, let your freak flag fly

Let your freak flag fly
