Boys Wanna Fight Lyrics
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
They know best how they can mess with us
Nursing an opinion's getting dangerous
And in a world where good's not good enough
Let's get loaded and kick up a fuss
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
What a mess we've made
It's ridicuolous
The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos
It gets so funny that we get confused
We don't know where to turn cause we've all been used
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
Let's get loaded (oh, let's be selfish)
Let's get wasted (and lose our senses)
Let's get shit faced (so we can fake it)
Let's get stupid (just entertain us)
Let's get wicked (desensitize us)
Let's get toasted (don't educate us)
Let's get hammered (yeah, paralyze us)
Let's forget it (don't count on all)
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
I'm sick, sick, sick of saying nothing
Sick, sick, sick of doing nothing
I'm sick, sick, sick of saying nothing
But let's get loaded
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Nursing an opinion's getting dangerous
And in a world where good's not good enough
Let's get loaded and kick up a fuss
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
It's ridicuolous
The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos
It gets so funny that we get confused
We don't know where to turn cause we've all been used
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
Let's get wasted (and lose our senses)
Let's get shit faced (so we can fake it)
Let's get stupid (just entertain us)
Let's get wicked (desensitize us)
Let's get toasted (don't educate us)
Let's get hammered (yeah, paralyze us)
Let's forget it (don't count on all)
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else?
Sick, sick, sick of doing nothing
I'm sick, sick, sick of saying nothing
But let's get loaded

First post on such a great song!!?? I really like that bouncy synthesizer bit near the end(after the final "let's get loaded"). I think it's about the way boys and girls are stereotyped and Shirley just wants to break the rules ("boys wanna fight etc...").
Just seems like another pop song at the start with the chorus of...
'The boys wanna fight But the girls are happy to dance all night'
But then you look at the verses and you see its a lot deeper then that...
'What a mess we've made It's ridicuolous The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos...'
Good Stuff. Catchy Song
i agree. the part where she says "the whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos" reminds me of the shakespeare's "as you like it"
"all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players"
Shirl said that this song is about politics: she believes that if we had more female presidents we would have less wars.
That's interesting, now that i think about it, it makes sense that it could be about politics
This is one of my favourite G songs. I think the lyrics go along with the political theme of the album. what with Metal Heart and Sex Is Not The Enemy.
The song is definately about politics, and the current war in particular.
The "boys" are those who are all for it.
The "girls" are those who just want to enjoy life without all the chaos.
I don't think it's suggesting that all men want war and all women oppose it. I just think its a metaphor. Great song.
Let's get loaded (oh, let's be selfish) Let's get wasted (and lose our senses) Let's get shit faced (so we can fake it) Let's get stupid (just entertain us) Let's get wicked (desensitize us) Let's get toasted (don't educate us) Let's get hammered (yeah, paralyze us) Let's forget it ...BEST BRIDGE EVER!! Ye I see the politics angle but in general it jus reminds me of goin out somewhere for a drink and de ratarded fellas that are with you have to start trouble! X
