| 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 T.V
|
| 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 T.V
|
| 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 T.V
|
| 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 |
