These lyrics need to be updated to be complete; here's what I feel is most accurate (I could be wrong in a few places);
"Whenever I'm dressed cool,
My parents put up a fight.
And if I'm a hot shot,
Mom will cut my hair at night.
And in the morning,
I'm short of my identity.
I scream Mom and Dad,
Why can't I be who I wanna be?
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am.
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my hair.
I've had enough, this is my prayer,
That I'll die living just as free as my hair.
I've had enough, this is my prayer,
That I'll die living just as free as my hair.
I've had enough, I'm not a freak,
I'm just here trying to (play/stay?) cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough,
And this is my prayer, I swear,
I'm as free as my hair.
I'm as free as my hair.
I am my hair.
I am my hair.
As free as my hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair,
Hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair.
As free as my hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair.
(Sometimes I waltz around, Put on red highlights/Sometimes I want some rocket/rockin' red highlights?)
Just because I want my friends,
To think I'm dynamite.
And on Friday rocks in,
High school dance.
I got my bangs too hot,
That I don't stand a chance.
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am.
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my hair.
I've had enough, this is my prayer,
That I'll die living just as free as my hair.
I've had enough, this is my prayer,
That I'll die living just as free as my hair.
I've had enough, I'm not a freak,
I'm just here trying to (play/stay?) cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough,
And this is my prayer, I swear,
I'm as free as my hair.
I'm as free as my hair.
I am my hair.
I am my hair.
As free as my hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair,
Hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair.
As free as my hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Hair, hair, hair,
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair.
Ha-ha-ha-hair.
I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends who invite me to their parties.
I don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed.
I'm the spirit of my Hair, it's all the glory that I bare.
I am my hair, I am my hair
I'm my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
(It's all the glory that I bare)
I am my hair, I am my hair
It's all the glory that I bare
I am my hair, I am my hair
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah
(All the glory that I bare)
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah
(All the glory that I bare)
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah
(All the glory that I bare)
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm not sure on the things in parenthesis with question marks (my friends and I have a few differing opinions on those); if there are official lyrics out already, then feel free to disregard this; it's late and I just wanted to see them up here, hahah.
As far as the song goes: this is basically my anthem. I love it so, so much. Another success!
I don't have lyric booklets, but I'm almost positive it's rock n roll red highlights (sung during a rock n roll esque part, aka breakdown), and i think the song isn't meant to be completely serious, as Gaga wears wigs everywhere she goes and often rips them off on stage, as she did during her performance of the edge of glory not long ago in germany.

She does say "racoon" or red highlights. raccoon highlights are when a section of your hair is horizontally striped. It's popular among the type of groups that gaga's music is directed at, and many other groups, like scene/emo, etc.

I hear "stay cool on the streets" :)

kind of sounds like rockin' but not quite.... not sure.

This is probably wrong, but I'm hearing "raccoon". But I doubt those are actually the words.

No you're right KayleK, it is racoon. I bought the album today and I have the lyric booklet.
