Story Behind The Song

A friend of the author's is a major head, while the kid's mother is a devout Southern Baptist who attends church 5 days a week & regularly prays with whoever will join in. Two people in the same house, living entirely opposite livestyles.

Song Description

Groovy rock song about a paranoid kid who thinks his Mom is watching every time he smokes weed. His friends think he's acting strange, but they don't see what he sees - Mom around the corner, in the window, listening at the door... Mom doesn't approve of her boy's friends, girlfriends - anything. He's having trouble dealing with her overbearing nature.

Lyrics

My mother doesn?t like the friends I?m choosin
She probably wouldn?t like the drugs I?m doin
She?s never met any of the girls I?m screwin
But I think about her all the time?

Every time I?m getting high with my friends
That?s when I turn into a freakazoid
She?s watching me or am I paranoid

Bring me down now
I?m freakin out in here
I?m hearing voices and I know it?s not the beer
How can she see me
I don?t wanna be me right now
It?s getting weird and I just wanna be somewhere else

My mother doesn?t like the friends I?m choosin
She probably wouldn?t like the drugs I?m doin
She?s never met any of the girls I?m screwin
But I think about her all the time
Every time I?m getting high with my friends
That?s when I turn into a freakazoid
She?s watching me ?freakazoid

My mother doesn?t like the friends I?m choosin
She probably wouldn?t like the drugs I?m doin
She don?t know about these shrooms I?m chewin
But I think about her all the time
But I think about her all the time
I think about her all the time every time that I am getting??
