Behave

A neighborhood rival
A black market gun
A game of survival
In the hot city sun
A boy near a window
Caught a bullet in the head
Now the NRA keeps telling you
Guns don’t kill, people do
But tell that to family
Who’s kid they shot instead

I don’t wanna to behave
Like the other boys do
I don’t wanna to behave
Like they want me to

Meanwhile on campus
Fraternity row
The hormones are raging
The beer kegs flow
A girl told the papers
What the guys made her do
Now the police said they couldn’t prove
Which one made the first move
And nobody said nothing
Although everybody knew

(Chorus)

I don’t need to run with the wolf pack
To prove that I’m a man
I don’t need to knock a fifth back
Just to show them that I can

(Chorus)
