I used to wonder why
When I was 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!

All those 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
Where their life goes I don't care
It's my price I'm proud to pay
I'm a freak

The called 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)

All those 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
Where their life goes I don't care
It's my price I'm proud to pay
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

Gene: I pledge allegience... to the state of... independence...

I 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
Where their life goes I don't care
It's my price I'm proud to pay
I'm a freak

I'm the freak and I love what I see
I'm the 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

Gene: I pledge allegience... to the state of... independence...
