Cut My Hair

The Who

Transposer:

(Verse) Why should I care if I have to cut my hair? I’ve got to move with the fashion or be outcast. I know I should fight but my old man he’s really alright And I’m still living at home even though it won’t last. Zoot suit white jacket with side vents five in-ches long I’m out on the street again and I’m leaping a--long. Dressed right for a beach fight but I just can’t explain why that Uncertain feeling is still here in my brain. (Verse) The kids at school have parents that seem so cool and though I Don’t want to hurt ’em mine want me their way I clean my room and my shoes but my mother found a box of blues And there doesn’t seem much hope they’ll let me stay Zoot suit white jacket with side vents five in-ches long I’m out on the street again and I’m leaping a--long. Dressed right for a beach fight but I just can’t explain why that Uncertain feeling is still here in my brain. (Refrain) Why do I have to be different from them Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend? We have the same old row again and again. Why do I have to move with a crowd Of kids that hardly notice I’m around? I work myself to death just to fit in. (Verse) I’m coming down got home on the very first train from town. My dad just left for work he wasn’t talking. It’s all a game and inside I’m just the same My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning.

La chanson évoque les dilemmes adolescents, où le protagoniste se sent tiraillé entre son désir d'appartenir à un groupe et les attentes de sa famille. Il questionne les normes sociales et la nécessité de se conformer aux tendances pour être accepté, même si cela ne résonne pas avec lui-même. Il exprime un désarroi face à la pression d'adopter un style qui ne lui ressemble pas vraiment, tout en se confrontant à des difficultés pour être en phase avec ses parents. Le contexte relate les enjeux de la jeunesse, entre rébellion et besoin d'affection, expliquant cette lutte intérieure à travers des références à la mode et à la vie quotidienne. Ainsi, le narrateur se retrouve en quête d'identité, jonglant entre l'image qu'il doit projeter et celle qu'il est vraiment.
