I was so gentle as a boy
Drove me mental
All the noise
Thicken up your skin and harden up those bones yeah
It's time for you to be large and loud and cold
Hold up high your boulder
You are getting older
Now's the time for you to feel the ice inside your shoulders
Stiffen up now, soldier!
You must be a bolder version of you
Wherever you enter, don't you let them catch ya
Being tender
All around me
They wear they kindness like an ill-fitting cardigan
Now this again
Another nice guy
But he makes your blood curdle
Inside his mind there's the same damn voice from the car commercial:
Hold up high your boulder
You are getting older
Now's the time for you to feel the ice inside your shoulders
Stiffen up now, soldier!
You must be a bolder version of you
Wherever you enter, don't you let them catch ya
Being tender
Stiffen up now, soldier!
You must be a bolder version of you
Wherever you enter, don't you let them catch ya
Don't you let them catch ya
Don't you let them catch ya
Don't you let them catch ya
