I used to wonder why
When I went 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 streets, oh yeah
I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I say yeah, I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak
They call me crazy
It doesn't faze me
I'm doin' fine
They're doing time
They tried to break me
Never could take me
Live like a fire
Dancin' with desire
Walkin' on the wire, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I say yeah, I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak
I'm a freak
And I 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 streets, oh yeah
I pledge allegiance to the state of independence
I've got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I say yeah, I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care
It's my cross I'm proud to bear
I'm a freak
I'm a freak
And I love what I see
I'm a 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
When I went walking by
They talked about me
What could it be?
They tried to break me
Never could make me
Takin' all the heat
Dancin' in the streets, oh yeah
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I say yeah, I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Let them laugh 'cause I don't care

It's about taking it in stride when you get called a freak. They call you a freak, and you embrace the things that make you a freak ("I've got streaks in my hair/People point at me and stare").
