[Verse 1]

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]

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]

I just turned fourteen

And I think this year I'm gonna be mean


[Chorus]

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?


[Post-Chorus]

Boys will be bugs, right?


[Verse 3]

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]

The other boys at school think it's cool to hate your parents

But they're lyin' 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]

I just turned fourteen

And I think I know everything


[Chorus]

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?


[Post-Chorus]

Boys will be bugs, right?


[Bridge]

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 this year I'm gonna be mean

(Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me)


[Chorus]

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?


[Outro]

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?
