| 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? |
| (Ah)
|
| Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won’t freak out
|
| We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
|
| We smile away to ease the tension so it don’t go south
|
| But there’s nothing funny now (Ah)
|
| 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 (Ah)
|
| 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 |
