You say my hair is getting long
Surely, that ain't bad
You say the way I dress is wrong
That don't mean I'm mad

Just look inside the cover
I'm sure you'll discover love

You say my life's a waste of time
But man, I disagree
I don't know anything so fine
As the life God gave to me

So I'll just go on living
And all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it, too

You say that I should be secure
That's all very well
But there's no point in making sure
Tomorrow may be hell

So, I'll just go on living
And all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it, too

It's not the colour of the hair
Or the colour of the skin
That tells you that a man is good
Or if he's full of sin
