I got spare-changed today by a couple of punky kids with $150 hairdos.

You Are Spending Too Much Money on Your Hair
August 6, 2001, a waltz

you wake up in the morning
can't seem to get it going
people that you meet just stop and stare
well, you could be feeling better
with some scissors or the shredder
you are spending too much money on your hair

well, you're having trouble sleeping
there are times you wake up weeping
and your pillow's like a paint store or a fair
well, your life will look much clearer
if you throw away your mirror
you are spending too much money on your hair

chorus:
you are spending too much money on your hair
too much time and too much money right up there
we can all see how you look
and we know the time it took
too much time and too much money on your hair

last week your hair was blue
it's been rainbow colored too
and then sometimes it's dyed to match the stuff you wear
its got sparkles its got bows
got extensions to your toes
you are spending too much money on your hair (chorus)

well I met you on the street
and you asked for change to eat
and I laughed although I had some dough to spare
I got nickels I got dimes
I got dollars in hard times
because I don't spend any money on my hair (chorus)
