Boys Will Be Bugs

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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

I just turned fourteen

And I think this year, I'm gonna be mean

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 supposed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs, right?

(Boys will be bugs, right?)

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

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

I just turned fourteen

And I think I know everything

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 supposed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs, right?

(Boys will be bugs, right?)

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)

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 supposed 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 supposed to be? Though it isn't me

Boys will be bugs, right?
