It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down
A Bm
And put your keys between your knuckles when there's boys around
G D
Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear
A Bm
When there's nothing funny here? (Ah)
G D
Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won't freak out
A Bm
We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
G D
We smile away to ease the tension so it don't go south
A Bm
But there's nothing funny now (Ah)
G D
When will we stop saying things?
A
'Cause they're all listening
Bm
No, the kids ain't alright
G D
Oh, and they do what they see
A
'Cause it's all on TV
Bm
Oh, the kids ain't alright
G
Boys will be, boys will be
D A
Boys will be, boys will be boys
Bm
But girls will be women

Boys will be, boys will be
D A
Boys will be, boys will be boys
Bm
But girls will be women

G D
When will we stop saying things?

No, the kids ain't alright
G D
Oh, and they do what they see
A
'Cause it's all on TV
Bm
Oh, the kids ain't alright

Boys will be, boys will be
D A
Boys will be, boys will be boys
Bm
But girls will be women
G
Boys will be, boys will be

Boys will be, boys will be boys
Bm
But girls will be women

If you're offended by this song
Bm G
You're clearly doing something wrong
D A
If you're offended by this song
A
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?
