My Conviction Lyrics > Hair

You know kids, I wish every mother
and father in this theater would go home tonight and make a speech to their
teenagers and say kids, be free, no guilt, be whatever you are,
do whatever you want to do, just so long as you don't hurt anybody.
Right? Right!

I would just like to say that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Of appearance are nothing more
Than the male's emergence from his drab camoflage
Into the gaudy plumage
Which is the birthright of his sex

There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the man
When ac---tually
That is the way things are
In most species
