[00:16.54]Why should I care
[00:18.32]If I got to cut my hair?
[00:21.65]I got to move with the fashion
[00:25.37]Or be outcast.
[00:30.11]I know I should fight
[00:32.45]But my old man he's really alright,
[00:35.40]And I'm still living at home
[00:38.72](Even though it won't last.)
[00:42.54]Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
[00:46.41]Five inches long.
[00:49.70]I'm out on the street again
[00:53.02]And I'm leaping along.
[00:56.95]Dressed right for a beachfight,
[00:59.80]But I just can't explain
[01:02.93]Why that uncertain feeling is still
[01:06.80]Here in my brain.
[01:24.13]The kids at school
[01:25.81]Thier folks that seem so cool.
[01:29.31]And though I don't want to hurt them
[01:32.30]Mine want me their way.
[01:37.46]I clean my room and my shoes
[01:39.86]But my mother found a box of blues,
[01:43.11]And there doesn't seem much hope
[01:46.29]They'll let me stay.
[01:51.09]Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
[01:54.30]Five inches long.
[01:56.99]I'm out on the street again
[02:00.81]And I'm leaping along.
[02:04.03]Dressed right for a beachfight,
[02:07.39]But I just can't explain
[02:10.19]Why that uncertain feeling is still
[02:14.35]Here in my brain.
[02:31.26]Why do I have to be different to them?
[02:34.01]Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend,
[02:37.83]We have the same old row, again and again.
[02:44.71]Why do I have to move with a crowd
[02:47.86]Of kids that hardly notice I'm around,
[02:51.37]I have to work myself to death just to fit in.
[02:58.71]I'm coming down
[03:01.13]Got home on the very first train from town.
[03:05.55]My dad just left for work
[03:07.99]He wasn't talking.
[03:12.81]It's all a game,
[03:15.27]'Cos inside I'm just the same,
[03:18.83]My fried egg makes me sick
[03:21.83]First thing in the morning.
