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)

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 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

I pledge allegiance to the state of independence
