Play us like pawns and
relentlessly confine,
Into living up to gender
roles and having absent minds
Don't you think it's funny
how they tell us how to live?
Don't you think it's funny how
we're all delinquent kids?
Like, hush now, don't say, don't say
Hush, boy, oh, hush,
boy, don't say a word
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
Hush, girl, oh, hush,
girl, just bat your eyes
Play our little game,
play our little game
Bounded all thoughts and
corrected common sense
You're raising suicidals with
your predetermined titles
Like "a mess", "distressed", "I
am unimpressed", "you're excess",
"a dress is all you'll ever be".
Gender roles impose control
and deceive progressive times
Welcome to the land of the broken minds
2x
Hush, boy, oh, hush,
boy, don't say a word
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
Hush, girl, oh, hush,
girl, just bat your eyes
Play our little game,
play our little game
We feign opulence just to get by
Put on false confidence
just to feel alive
They can't hurt me anymore
There's nothing left to break of me
There's nothing left to take from me
'Cause, baby, it's easy to fake a smile
When you've been doing it for a while
Baby, it's easy to fake a smile
When you've been doing it for a while
2x
Hush, boy, oh, hush,
boy, don't say a word
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
Hush, girl, oh, hush,
girl, just bat your eyes
Play our little game,
play our little game
Hush, boy, oh, hush, boy
Hush, girl, oh, hush, girl
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game,
Won't you play with me?
