0:01It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down
0:05And put your keys between your knuckles when there's boys around
0:09Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear
0:13When there's nothing funny here? (Ah)
0:17Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won't freak out
0:21We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
0:25We smile away to ease the tension so it don't go south
0:29But there's nothing funny now (Ah)
0:32When will we stop saying things
0:35'Cause they're all listening?
0:37No, the kids ain't alright
0:40Oh, and they do what they see
0:43'Cause it's all on TV
0:45Oh, the kids ain't alright
0:47Boys will be, boys will be
0:49Boys will be, boys will be boys
0:53But girls will be women
0:55Boys will be, boys will be
0:57Boys will be, boys will be boys
1:00But girls will be women
1:03I'm sure if there's something that I can't find the words to say
1:07I know that there will be a man around to save the day
1:11And that was sarcasm, in case you needed it mansplained
1:15I should've stuck to ballet (Ah)
1:18When will we stop saying things
1:21'Cause they're all listening?
1:23No, the kids ain't alright
1:26Oh, and they do what they see
1:29'Cause it's all on TV
1:31Oh, the kids ain't alright
1:33Boys will be, boys will be
1:35Boys will be, boys will be boys
1:39But girls will be women
1:41Boys will be, boys will be
1:43Boys will be, boys will be boys
1:47But girls will be women
1:50If you're offended by this song
1:54You're clearly doing something wrong
1:58If you're offended by this song
2:02Then you're probably saying
2:04Boys will be, boys will be
2:06Boys will be, boys will be boys
2:10But girls will be women
2:12When will we stop saying things
2:15'Cause they're all listening?
2:17No, the kids ain't alright
2:20Oh, and they do what they see
2:23'Cause it's all on TV
2:25Oh, the kids ain't alright
2:27Boys will be, boys will be
2:29Boys will be, boys will be boys
2:33But girls will be women
2:35Boys will be, boys will be
2:37Boys will be, boys will be boys
2:40But girls will be women
