Life Ain't Easy (For a Boy with Long Hair)

I was 12 years old and the world was mean

I never got big for the football team

The guys called me "Little girl", before they crushed my nose

And I'm black-out side-mouth, first overdose

No teenage dream, it was a teenage nightmare

'Cause life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

Life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

So, what can I say? Things got that bad

I stood before the mirror to shave my head

But then I looked at my eyes and I knew right then

You let your hair grow and start a band

Gonna find me some ponytail losers out there

'Cause life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

Life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

I got the jeans on

I got a rock 'n' roll song

I'm gonna boogie woogie all night long

And no one's ever gonna stop me

I don't care what they say, I'm going my own way

And it's long, so long but I don't care

'Cause life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

But it's my life

Here we go

And as the years went by, fashion went, then came

And everybody changed but I'm still the same

And now you try to dress up like a rock 'n' roll star

But you don't look cool and you won't get far

What you looking for you can't just by anywhere

It's just I'm living the life of a boy with long hair

I'm living the life of a boy with long hair

Life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

Life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

I got the jeans on

I got a rock 'n' roll song

I'm gonna boogie woogie all night long

And no one's ever gonna stop me

(That's right)

I don't care what they say, I'm going my own way

And it's long, so long but I don't care

'Cause life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

(I got them jeans on)

I got the blue jeans on

I got a rock 'n' roll song

It's a long way, but I don't care

'Cause life ain't easy for a boy with long hair

That's right

Ooh-ooh I keep my long hair

Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
