Our Ballads by Polar Bear Club Lyrics
'Round the corner from me lives a lawyer/rocker age 53
He's got two kids, both girls
23 and 17 you know they mean the world to him
But Mr. Lawyer, he's not the point. He heard my band
And had to give an account of what he liked and what he hated
Mentioned we alienated girls from boys
You see I was angry, I was crushed and I know these words
Just won't be enough
And I'll come home at night and crawl in my bed so cold
And rest will never come
When I scream, it certaintly isn't for machismo
Not intimidation or gender segregation
I just needed more from the words I sang but you can't understand
So you're saying that a female only listens to ballads and love songs? The girls that I know wouldn't think so
But according to you our songs should separate all the girls from the boys
He's got two kids, both girls
23 and 17 you know they mean the world to him
But Mr. Lawyer, he's not the point. He heard my band
And had to give an account of what he liked and what he hated
Mentioned we alienated girls from boys
You see I was angry, I was crushed and I know these words
Just won't be enough
And I'll come home at night and crawl in my bed so cold
And rest will never come
When I scream, it certaintly isn't for machismo
Not intimidation or gender segregation
I just needed more from the words I sang but you can't understand
So you're saying that a female only listens to ballads and love songs? The girls that I know wouldn't think so
But according to you our songs should separate all the girls from the boys
