[verse 1]
All i ever really wanted to do
Was to be treated to be more like you
I wouldn’t say i have it rough
But i hate it when guys are made out like they’re soo tough
Women hold the world on their backs
But even then i can still see the cracks
Just so you know, these gender roles
Are another means of capitalistic control
[chorus]
They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
[verse 2]
Truth is that they’ll never know
What it’s like to be told
That you’ve let yourself go
By the people in your family
As if they are the ones who are supposed to be mean
All i ever wanted was to go outside and play
Yet my brothers were allowed to go and i just had to stay
Because a girl like me who had only turned fifteen
Is apparently too vulnerable to play out in the street
[chorus]
They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
[bridge]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[chorus]
They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed
It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys
I think i’d start to feel more overjoyed
If i was a man
If i was a man
If i was
