"Boys" lyrics

Where do we put all the boys who had mothers
Who drank themselves silly waiting for husbands
To come home with money
Isn't it funny
Who we blame

It's hard to believe with your face in the pavement
That people would change if you just had the patience
Somebody started it
Don't be an easy target

No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don't wait for me

Put all of the sharp ends you found in the basement
There's too much to do and the money needs making
Some bets are worth taking
The horses are
Ready to run

Don't borrow your way through the land of the living
Where drinking and praying are all that you're given
If the sky doesn't look right
Remember to
Change flights

No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don't wait for me

No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don't wait for me
