[Verse 1]
I'm a dumb tee
n boy
I eat sticks a
nd rocks and m
ud
I don't care a
bout the gover
nment
And I really n
eed a hug
I feel stupid
(stupid!)
Ugly (ugly!)
Pretend it doe
sn't bother me
I'm not very s
trong but
I'll fuck you
up if you're m
ean to bugs
[riff]
[Verse 2]
It's getting c
old down here
underneath the
weather
I skipped clas
s to sit with
you
I really like
your spotty sw
eater
If ladybugs ar
e girls
How do you mak
e kids togethe
r?
What's it like
in a female w
orld?
I bet it's jus
t so much bett
er
[Pre-Chorus]
I just turned
fourteen
And I think th
is year I'm go
nna be mean
[Chorus]
Don't mess wit
h me, I’m a bi
g boy now and
I'm very scary
I punch my wal
ls, stay out a
t night, and I
do karate
Don't message
me 'cause I wo
n't reply, I w
anna make you
cry
Ain't that how
its s’posed t
o be? Though i
t isn’t me
Boys will be b
(
ugs, right?
Boys will be b
ugs, right?
[riff]
[Verse 3]
I'm a dumb tee
n boy
All I wanna do
is quit
My mum told me
that she's wo
rried
And I couldn't
give a shit
I have friends
who understan
d me
Their names ar
e spider, beet
le, bee
They don’t say
much but
They have alwa
ys listened to
me
[riff]
[Verse 4]
The other boys
at school
Think it's coo
l to hate your
parents
But they’re ly
ing all the ti
me
The bugs advis
ed that I shou
ld let 'em
And if you wan
na cry
Make sure that
they never se
e it
Or even better
yet
Block it out a
nd never feel
it
[Pre-Chorus]
I just turned
fourteen
And I think I
know everythin
g
[Chorus]
Don't mess wit
h me, I’m a bi
g boy now and
I'm very scary
I punch my wal
ls, stay out a
t night, and I
do karate
Don't message
me 'cause I wo

anna make you
cry
Ain't that how
its s’posed t
o be? Though i
t isn’t me
Boys will be b

ugs, right?
Boys will be b
ugs, right?

And I think th

nna be mean
Just turned fo
