Uh uh uhuhuhuhuh (2X)
The school board won't let him come to school no more
(No more, mo more, no more)
Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before
(Wear his hair like he wore it before)
The PTA and all the mothers say he ought to look like the others
Home of the brave, land of the free
Oh, why won't they let him be what he wants to be
The kids all laugh at his hair and funny clothes
(They know they hurt him so)
And more than once he's gone home with a bloody nose
(With a bloody nose)
He's not like them and they can't ignore it so they all hate him for it
He never hurt nobody that didnt do him wrong
Cause he's a little bit different tell me why thats so wrong
Everybody says that I shouldnt take his part
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
But when they put him down, how it breaks my heart
(It breaks my heart)
Instead of all the trouble they hand him why don't they try to understand him
Repeat Chorus 2x
Note: Bonnie & the Treasures version
