Freaks Lyrics

Cover art for Freaks lyrics by MC Chris

The song is pretty straightforward, it's about fitting in with misfits and as it quite literally says "suburban counterculture" loitering at denny's etc. The song references some places from where MC grew up in Libertyville, IL. I was confused on a few so I looked them up. "Horsefeathers" is a jewelry store in Waukegan, IL that carries a bunch of other stuff (incense, etc.), possibly tea.

As for the line "We're not allowed in Downing's, so we'll make Denny's our dive", it is referring to a popular Libertyville Irish bar, Downing's, which they can't get into because they're underage. So instead their late-night 'dive' is Denny's.

Oh and "Raining Blood" is a Slayer song.
