Boys Will Be Bugs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a dumb teen boy
I eat sticks and rocks and mud
I don't care about the government
And I really need a hug
I feel stupid (stupid!)
Ugly (ugly!)
Pretend it doesn't bother me
I'm not very strong but
I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs
[Verse 2]
It's getting cold down here underneath the weather
I skipped class to sit with you
I really like your spotty sweater
If ladybugs are girls
How do you make kids together?
What's it like in a female world?
I bet it's just so much better
[Pre-Chorus]
I just turned fourteen
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
[Chorus]
Don't mess with me, I’m a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how its s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Boys will be bugs, right?
[Verse 3]
I'm a dumb teen boy
All I wanna do is quit
My mum told me that she's worried
And I couldn't give a shit
I have friends who understand me
Their names are spider, beetle, bee
They don’t say much but
They have always listened to me
[Verse 4]
The other boys at school
Think it's cool to hate your parents
But they’re lying all the time
The bugs advised that I should let 'em
And if you wanna cry
Make sure that they never see it
Or even better yet
Block it out and never feel it
[Pre-Chorus]
I just turned fourteen
And I think I know everything
[Chorus]
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Boys will be bugs, right?
[Bridge]
Just turned fourteen
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Just turned fourteen and I think I know everything
Just turned fourteen
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me
[Chorus]
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs, right?
[Outro]
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs, right?

Boys will be bugs by Cavetown literally compares boys to bugs. People will hurt bugs without batting an eyelid, the bugs don't complain or cry out when they are crushed. This relates to how boys and men are expected to act, showing no emotion or upset.
