Cry

Call it discipline, call it love
Call it teachin' 'em how to be tough
You know who that creates, but you don't care
Fights in schoolyards spread everywhere

Calls himself such a romantic
Yet these hands are always tellin' you off
Loses himself in empty bottles
Get his daughter a role model to love

I don't know why
I don't know why we let this slide
Excuses won't make this right
It's just a phase covered in hate
We saw no signs
He's just a product of the times

"If pathetic was a man, he'd look just like your dad
He'd the exact same, shed tears out with his hands
Who taught that boy to cry? You know he'll never change
Oh, boys will just be boys, what a shame, what a shame"

He'll blame his father, they'll blame their fathers too
It's a sign of the time
You call it a problem, they'll call it attitude
And the circle of life

I don't know why
I don't know why we let this slide
Excuses won't make this right
It's just a phase covered in hate
We saw no signs
He's just a product of the times
He's just a product of the time

I don't know why
I don't know why we let this slide
Excuses won't make this right
It's just a phase covered in hate
We saw no signs
