Lyrics

[Intro] Flakes! Flakes! Flakes! Flakes! [Verse 1] They don't do no good They never be workin' when they oughta should They waste your time 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 Swear to God they got the most At every business on the coast They got the Flakes [Chorus] Flakes! Flakes! [Verse 2] They can't fix your brakes You ask 'em, "Wherе's my motor?" "Well it was eaten by snakеs" You can stab 'n' shoot 'n' 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 Swear to God they got the most At every business on the coast [Verse 3] Well, I asked just as nice as I could Oh, If my job would Hey, somehow be finished by Friday Well, the whole damn weekend Came and went there, Frankie (Wanna buy some acid, Bob?) No, but you know what? They didn't do nothin' But then they charged me double for Sunday Well, you know no matter what you do They gonna cheat and rob you And then they'll send you a bill Thats gonna get your senses reelin' And if you do not pay They got computer collectors That'll get you so crazy 'Til your head goes through the ceilin' Ow, yes it will! [Verse 4] 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 cheesey But it's nicely displayed Well, we don't get excited when it crumbles and 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, the 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-yay-yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, blew up the next day Woah [Verse 5] We are millions and millions We're comin' 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 are 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 [Outro] We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you We're comin' to get you, we're comin' to get you
