"Elephants"
by Andrew Delaney

Walk with a purpose through the parking lot
Keys in your knuckles cause you ain't got claws
Remembering how your daddy taught you that
Boys will be boys you gotta watch your back

Sittin' there drinkin' at the bar alone
Sharks come circle wanna take you home
Better not play coy, better not be mean
Boys will be boys and they are fragile things

And they got names for the ones who talk back
And the ones who wear those clothes
They got names for the ones who say "yes"
And the one's who say "no"

Say baby, why you gotta be that way
Give me a smile, you got a pretty face
There are things you do and things you can't
Live quiet as a mouse in a room full of elephants

Don't he look so handsome in his Sunday best
He said he's sorry, you know the rest
Shouldn't really blame him he's just a kid
Boys will be boys, don't call him what he is

But they got names for the ones who talk back
And the ones who wear those clothes
They got names for the ones who say "yes"
And the one's who say "no"
