Cavetown - Boys Will Be Bugs (Live at Hoxton Hall)

[Verse 1]

I'm a dumb teen boy

I eat sticks and rocks and mud

I don't care about the government

And I really need a hug

I feel stupid (stupid)

Ugly (ugly)

Pretend it doesn't bother me

I'm not very strong but

I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs

[Verse 2]

It's getting cold down here underneath the weather

I skipped class to sit with you

I really like your spotty sweater, if

Ladybugs are girls

How do you make kids together?

What's it like in a female world?

I bet it's just so much better

[Pre-Chorus]

I just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me, I’m a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how its s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me

Boys will be bugs, right?

(Boys will be bugs, right?)

[Verse 3]

I'm a dumb teen boy

All I wanna do is quit

My mum told me that she's worried

And I couldn't give a shit

I have friends who understand me

Their names are spider, beetle, bee

They don’t say much but

They have always listened to me

[Verse 4]

The other boys at school

Think it's cool to hate your parents

But they’re lying all the time

The bugs advised that I should let 'em

And if you wanna cry

Make sure that they never see it

Or even better yet

Block it out and never feel it

[Pre-Chorus]

I just turned fourteen

And I think I know everything

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me

Boys will be bugs, right?

(Boys will be bugs, right?)

[Bridge]

Just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

(Just turned fourteen and I think I know everything)

Just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

(Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me)

[Chorus]

Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me

Boys will be bugs, right?

Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me

Boys will be bugs, right?

[Outro]

(Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me

Boys will be bugs, right?
