Feeling nervous, aren’t you boy?
With your quiet voice
And your impeccable style
Don’t ever let them steal your joy
Or your gentle ways
To keep them from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down and tell you that your place is in the middle
When they hate the way you shine
I see you’re tugging on your shirt
Tryna hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin
Let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies
I’ve seen how it ends
The joke’s on them
You get discouraged, don’t you girl?
It’s your brother’s world
For a while longer
You’ve gotta dance with the devil on a river to beat the stream
Call it living the dream
Call it kicking the ladder
They go to kick dirt in your face
Dress you down and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you’re looking tired
But you don’t look scared
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin
Let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies
I’ve seen how it ends
The joke’s on them
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin
Let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies
I’ve seen how it ends
The joke’s on…
Them (Hey)
