Like, hush now, don't say, don't say

Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word

Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt

Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
A#
Play our little game, play our little game
[Verse]

F dress is all you'll ever be."

Welcome to the land of the broken mind

They can't hurt me anymore

When you've been doing it for a while

When you've been doing it for a while
