Boys & Girls

Neon lights
Sound the alarm for human rights
They tell you run, but never why
Just higher, faster, till you die

Gold and glory, a temporary lie
But empty hands when the well runs dry
The mirror cracks with every try
To fit the mold they sell and buy

Boys, what are you looking for?
What do you need?
Girls, what are you looking for?
What do you want to be?
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Boys and girls
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Boys and girls

Everyone wants to be a number one, over your dim
Oh, the hollow chase, it breaks you slow
A hunger fed but never goes
They paint the path, but you don't know
The price they charge to steal your soul

Climb the ladder, rungs so thin
One misstep and you're back again
The crowd applauds, but you're alone
A puppet strung but never known

Boys, what are you looking for?
What do you need?
Girls, what are you looking for?
What do you want to be?
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Boys and girls
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Boys and girls
