Boys Will Be Boys

It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down And put your keys between your knuckles when there's boys around Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear? When there's nothing funny here Sick intuition that they taught us so we won't freak out We hide our figures doing anything to shut them out We smile, a way to ease the tension so it don't go south But there's nothing funny now When will we stop saying things 'Cause they're all listening? No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women I'm sure if there's something that I can't find the words to say I know that there will be a man around to save the day And that was sarcasm, in case you needed it mansplained I should've stuck to ballet When will we stop saying things 'Cause they're all listening? No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women If you're offended by this song You're clearly doing something wrong If you're offended by this song Then you're probably saying Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women When will we stop saying things 'Cause they're all listening? No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women

'Cause nobody's laughing, now your ego's lacking Must be sad to be so boring Maybe you should take a look in the mirror, love 'Cause your outfit and outlook are ugly as fuck And I've got some news for you Still don't give a shit what you do Or at all about you Boys will be girls And girls will be boys And everybody in between We'll all be who we wanna be Boys will be girls And girls will be boys And everybody in between We'll all be who we wanna be Oh, who we want to be Throw a tantrum, hold a sign As the infantry arrives We'll take back the city tonight The kids will be all right Your old ways will die In the darkest depths we'll stand here in the light Boys will be girls And girls will be boys And everybody in between We'll all be who we wanna be Boys will be girls And girls will be boys And everybody in between We'll all be who we wanna be Oh, who we want to be Oh, who we want to be
