  No, FZ definitely is singing "sick." What sounds like an extra syllable before the word "sick" is actually one of the double-tracked vocals going out of sync with the other, so you hear the word "get" twice.

  SICK. Confirmed by Plastic People Songbuch. By the way, in 1984 variation of this song Frank sung

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete

  Well, it's a famous trade name of the line of amateure cameras that Eastman Kodak Co, produced after inventing of a roll of film. The first was "Brownie Box" in 1900 and the last it seems "Brownie II" still on the market in 1986!
  BTW, cameras of a Freak Out year bear mauch more poetic names like "Brownie Vecta", "Brownie Holiday" and even pachuco special:-)) "Brownie Chiquita".
 
Hey, you know something people?
I'm not black
But there's a whole lots of times
I wish I could say I'm not white!
....
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
'Cause the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
(No matter if it's black or white)
Because he's out for blood tonight
  Well, the song is a Zappa reaction to the pictures of Watts black riots.

Don't watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor
Blow your harmonica, son!
  Famous Lightnin' Slim order to a harmonica player.
