It was probably 'here come the brain police'. The thing about Frank Zappa is that he doesn't give a **** about his lyrics, never has. He's a composer through and through, and to him, the human voice is just another instrument so it doesn't matter what the hell it's saying. I think that's awesome, but this can turn people off sometimes.

Another thing a lot of people don't dig is his common use of lulls in the music for conversational segments. There's a loooooottt of general conversation sort of **** in his music, where it's just him talking and music playing. I know a lot of people can't stand it.

Here's some tracks of his I think you might dig though:
