Song For the Week

HAIR - Lady Gaga
Whenever I'm dressed cool my parents put up a fightAnd if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at nightAnd in the morning I'm short of my identityI scream, "Mom and dad, why can't I be who I wanna be, to be?"

I just wanna be myself and I want you to loveMe for who I amI just wanna be myself and I want you to knowI am my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hairI've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freakI just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streetsI've had enough, enough, enoughAnd this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hairI'm as free as my hairI am my hairI am my hair

Free as my hai-ai-airHai-ai-air, hairFree as my hai-ai-airHai-ai-air, hai-ai-air

Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlightsJust because I want my friends to think I'm dynamiteAnd on Friday, Rock City High School danceI've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance, a chance

I just wanna be myself and I want you to loveMe for who I amI just wanna be myself and I want you to knowI am my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hairI've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freakI just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streetsI've had enough, enough, enoughAnd this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hairI'm as free as my hairI am my hairI am my hair

Free as my hai-ai-airHai-ai-air, hairFree as my hai-ai-airHai-ai-air, hai-ai-airr

I just want to be free, I just want to be meAnd I want lots of friends that invite me to their partiesDon't want to change and I don't want to be ashamedI'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hairI'm my hair, I am my hairI am my hair, I am my hair, I am my hairIt's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hairIt's all the glory that I bearI'm my hair, I am my hairI'm my hair, yeah, yeah

It's all the glory that I bearI'm my hair, yeah, yeahIt's all the glory that I bearI'm my hair, yeah, yeahIt's all the glory that I bearI'm my hair, yeah, yeah

I've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hairI've had enough, this is my prayerThat I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freakI just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streetsI've had enough, enough, enoughAnd this is my prayer, I swearI'm as free as my hairI'm as free as my hair

I am my hair, I am my hair

Ooh I'm my hair, I'm my hair

"I just wanne be free, I just wanna be me..." - Lady Gaga

I love this song because it started in a mellow tune and then after the first chorus it becomes more of  a techno pop and has an up and lively beat. It is a very fun song to sing, too, because of the rhyme schemes. But, I love this song mainly because of the message that it brings to me. The song tells me that there people in this world who can't accept you and who can't love you for who you are and what they do instead is fill you with their standards. They call you a freak. But just screw all of those pointless jabber and just continue strutting the streets for who you are. Be as free as your hair because it's all the glory you bear :D
