Verse
D#m
Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine,
F#
Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds
B
Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live?
G#
Don't you think it's funny how we're all delinquent kids?
D#m F#
Like, hush now, don't say, don't say
[Chorus]
D#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
F#
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
B
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
G#
Play our little game, play our little game
[Verse]
D#m
Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense
F#
You're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles
B G#
Like "a mess, distressed, I am unimpressed, you're excess
D# dress is all you'll ever be."
D#m F#
Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive time
G# A#m
Welcome to the land of the broken mind
[Chorus]
D#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
F#
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
A#m
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
B
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)
[Bridge]
D#m F#
We feign opulence just to get by
B G#
Put on a false confidence just to feel alive
[Verse]
A#m
They can't hurt me anymore
D#m
There's nothing left to break of me
F#
Nothing left to take from me
A#m
'Cause, baby, it's easy to fake a smile
F#
When you've been doing it for a while
A#m
Baby, it's easy to fake a smile
G# D#m
When you've been doing it for a while
[Chorus]
D#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
F#
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
A#m
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
B
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)
[Outro]
D#m
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game
F# B
Won't you play with me?
