[Verse 1: Cavetown, Chloe Moriondo, Both]

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: Chloe Moriondo]

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: Both]

I just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

[Chorus: Both, Cavetown]

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?)

(Boys will be bugs right?)

[Verse 3: Cavetown, Both]

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: Both]

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: Both]

I just turned fourteen

And I think I know everything


[Chorus: Both]

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?

[Bridge: Cavetown, Chloe Moriondo]

Just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

(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 the world revolves around me)


[Chorus: Both]

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?
