Hairstyles and Attitudes, by Timbuk3

[the_gneech]

Hairstyles and attitudes,
Are they connected?
Are styles we embrace a matter of taste,
Or values rejected?
Hairstyles and attitudes,
How do they relate?
How well do we use the freedom to choose
The illusions we create?

Blowdried, bouffant, basic training
Cops in drag dressed up like whores
Cowboys in pony tails, bankers in bangs
Presidents in pompous pompadours
Mommies in mohawks, daddies in dreadlocks
Heavy metal goldilocks, trying to look tough
The wet look, the dry look, the FBI look
But can you judge a crook by his cover-up?

Hairstyles and attitudes,
Are they connected?
Are styles we embrace a matter of taste,
Or values rejected?
Hairstyles and attitudes,
How do they relate?
How well do we use the freedom to choose
The illusions we create?

Razorcut, lazercut
Chopped and channelled
Curled-up, slicked back
Hanging in the eyes
Parted left, parted right, straight down the middle
Scientists say your hair never lies
They've done lots of research,
It may be just hype, but the latest findings cause me to tremble
They've categorized us into three basic types
By which of the Three Stooges we most closely resemble

Or values rejected?
Hairstyles and attitudes,
How do they relate?
How well do we use the freedom to choose
The illusions we create?
