I'm the one who preys upon the weakest   And the weakest always preys   Upon the one who's underneath      I'm the one who doesn't see   The waves of human kindness   And the tides that turn the day      I'm the one who always   Turns and looks away   Turns and looks away      Because after all, we are only boys   Because after all, we are only boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      I'm the one treads upon   The weaker ones   Those that I can find      And there'll always be some others   Who could march along in line, yeah   March along in line      And, we'll move upon the world   In a massive tidal wave   And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah   Shout and make some noise      Because after all, we are only boys   Because after all, we are only boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade   Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid   Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn   With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn      They're looking for the helpless ones   They're looking for the misbegotten   They prey upon the weak and fractured   The crippled and the freaks of nature      And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone   Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow   Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon   And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing      I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones   Those that I can find   And there'll always be some others   Who will march along in line      And we'll move upon the world   In a massive tidal wave   And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah   Shout and make some noise      Because after all, we are only boys   Because after all, we are only boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys   We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys      The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade   Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid   Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn   With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn      They're looking for the helpless ones   They're looking for the misbegotten   They prey upon the weak and fractured   The crippled and the freaks of nature      Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds   They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads   If you think it just a dream or that it isn't fair   Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
