What becomes of little boys
Whose dreams are larger
Than life has ever shown them they should be
What becomes of little boys
Whose goals are bigger than anything in their reality
What happens to young men
Disappointed once again
When they find out they're not supposed to grow
Do their lives become a lie
Should they wiggle up and die
When they find out they deserve more than they know
It's not hard to be confused
When you find out you've been used
As a sacrifice for other peoples gain
And no matter what they say
It's the same thing everyday
And no one seems concerned about the pain
What becomes of little boys who make a little too much noise
When their dreams have blown away beyond the cloud
Would you rather see them silent
Would you rather see them violent
'cos they never had a reason to be proud
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys
Yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(repeated)
Young man, young man, young man, young man
(x2)
Yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(repeated)
Who that there, you the one hot this year
We got one that's here, yo' run this here
Hun this here, who did it done done this year
Numbness here, can nobody turn this here
Learn this here, to whom it may concern this year
We firm this here, why you can't turn this ear |
