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
