lyrics

Teenaged girls, my whole world
Is crumbling in two
Jäger and red bull
My heart don't know what to do

Stay afloat or dive into
The primordial soup
Of aggression and booze
My heart don't know what to do

Boys don't try
They keep on cheating
They forget the words

Boys don't try
They get off easy
They never learn

An inflatable dolphin
Gets ridden across the mosh
I try to get them out of there
But I just can't shake them off

Insatiable appetite
Overbecomes the moth
I try to turn the light away
But I just can't get them off

Boys don't try
They sip on cocktails
Shaken not stirred

Boys don't try
They sit on coattails
They don't get hurt

Twirling in the taught twilight
And twisting up our tricks
I think I will disintegrate
If I can't pick up the sticks

Tip toe to the car and
Do not brush against the bricks
I might lose you forever
If I can't pick up the sticks

Boys don't try
They keep on swimming
They don't get burnt

Boys don't try
They keep on leaning
They never lurch

Boys don't try enough
Boys only try to be tough
Everybody says so and everybody knows
The boys don't gotta learn to touch their toes
