I used to wonder why
When I went walking by
They talked about me
What could it be
They tried to break me
Never could make me

Out in the streets
Takin' all the heat
Dancin' in the sheets, oh yeah

I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I'll say, "Yeah!"
I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak

They call me crazy
It doesn't faze me
I'm doing fine
They're doing time
They tried to break me
Never could make me

Live like a fire
Dancin' with desire
Walkin' on the wire
Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I'll say, "Yeah!"
I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak

I'm a freak and love what I see
I'm a freak and I love being me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Out in the streets
Takin' all the heat
Dancin' in the sheets
Oh yeah

I pledge allegiance to the state of independence

I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I'll say, "Yeah!"
I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak

I'm a freak and I love what I see
I'm a freak and I love being me
I'm a freak and that's all I can be
I'm a freak, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I pledge allegiance to the state of independence
