Down for the first time
Back on your heel
Livin' on chances all the way
Fly like an angel
Nothing is real
Let you down easy day by day
[Bridge]
Running for cover
Nowhere to hide
Tell me you care at all
With your head burnt up inside
[Chorus]
Don't be a boy in a big man's world
Don't be a toy for a rich man's girl
You can work it out somehow
Don't see the end as a poor man's fool
Don't lose a friend for a broken rule
And when it's time to take your bow
Don't stop now
Lucky for someone takin' your turn
Leavin' you one more step behind
Laugh at the teacher
You'll never learn
He'll never get into your mind
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Don't be a boy in a big man's world
Don't be a toy for a rich man's girl
You can work it out somehow
Don't see the end as a poor man's fool
Don't lose a friend for a broken rule
And when it's time to take your bow
Don't be a boy in a big man's world
Don't be a toy for a rich man's girl
You can work it out somehow
Don't see the end as a poor man's fool
Don't lose a friend for a broken rule
And when it's time to take your bow
Don't be a boy in a big man's world
Don't be a toy
