| You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy?
|
| With your quiet voice and impeccable style
|
| Don’t ever let them steal your joy
|
| And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild
|
| They can kick dirt in your face
|
| Dress you down, and tell you that your place
|
| Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
|
| I see you tugging on your shirt
|
| Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
|
| Let 'em laugh while they can
|
| Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
|
| I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
|
| And the joke’s on them
|
| You get discouraged, don’t you, girl?
|
| It’s your brother’s world for a while longer
|
| You gotta dance with the devil on a river
|
| To beat the stream
|
| Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
|
| They come to kick dirt in your face
|
| To call you weak and then displace you
|
| After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
|
| I saw your eyes behind your hair
|
| And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
|
| Let 'em laugh while they can
|
| Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
|
| I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
|
| And the joke’s on them
|
| Let 'em laugh while they can
|
| Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
|
| I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
|
| And the joke’s on them |
