Hair lyrics???

In some of the live versions of Days Of Wild, there is a verse that goes:

People ask me everywhere
Is that really all your hair

What is the rest of this? I can never make it all out, but I can tell it's badass.

That's "Hair" by Graham Central Station. Prince used to cover Larry's tracks
a lot back then (and still does sometimes).

here's the lyrics...

Graham Central Station - Hair (1973)

People ask me everywhere
They say, is that really all your hair?
I just tell them if it ain’t
Well it sho’ don’t mean that now I cain’t
‘Cause I just don’t believe it’s fair
To judge a man
By the length of his hair

Take two words like hip and square, well
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can damn near see
What’s outside you and inside me
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak man’s laugh can be
A strong man’s cry

Black or blonde or nappy or fair
You can’t judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I’d wear a wig up under my hair
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak man’s laugh can be
A strong man’s cry

People ask me everywhere
Is that really all your hair?
I just tell them if it ain’t
Well, it sho’ don’t mean that now I cain’t
I just don’t believe it’s fair
To judge a man
By the length of his hair

He also sings a few lines from 'hair' on the track 'the exodus has begun'. As well as snippets from many other cover tracks the npg were playing live around the same time.
