Boys Will Be Boys

Lyrics

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
