Home Of The Brave:Jody Miller. #25 on BB Hot 100 on CAPITOL Records in 1965. (x2) #1. The school board says he can't come to school, no more......unless he wears his hair like he wore it before. The PTA and all the mothers, say he ought to look like the others. Home of the brave, land of the free..why won't you let him be what he wants to be. #2. The kids all laugh at his hair and his funny clothes. And more than once he's gone home with a bloody nose. He's not like them and they can't ignore it..so they all hate him for it. Home of the brave, land of the free..why won't you let him be what he wants to be. #3. It really burns me up, when they put him down. He's the only one who's saying something in this whole town. Instead of all the trouble they hand him, why don't they try to understand him? Home of the brave, land of the free..why won't you let him be what he wants to be? He never hurt nobody..why won't you let him be what he wants to be..he's just a little bit different. Why won't you let him be what he wants to be.. you got to understand him. Why won't you let him be what he wants to be? A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
