Cut My Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why should I care If I have to cut my hair? I got to move with the fashion Or be outcast I know I should fight But my old man, he's really alright And I'm still living at home Even though it won't last [Chorus] Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents Five inches long I'm out on the street again And I'm leaping along Dressed right for a beach fight But I just can't explain Why that uncertain feeling Is still here in my brain [Verse 2] The kids at school Have parents that seem so cool And though I don't want to hurt them Mine want me their way I clean my room and my shoes But my mother found a box of blues And there doesn't seem much hope They'll let me stay [Chorus] Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents Five inches long I'm out on the street again And I'm leaping along Dressed right for a beach fight But I just can't explain Why that uncertain feeling Is still here in my brain [Bridge] Why do I have to be different to them Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend? We have the same old row, again and again Why do I have to move with a crowd Of kids that hardly notice I'm around? I work myself to death just to fit in [Verse 3] I'm coming down Got home on the very first train from town My dad just left for work He wasn't talking It's all a game And inside, I'm just the same My fried egg makes me sick First thing in the morning
