Put 'Em Up

(album: Need To Know - 2015)

They said when I was young I,
had some kind of sickness.
See how I have weathered.
You tell me if I'm better.

If my mother had her way her,
son would be a preacher.
You looking for redemption,
Were bringing that old fashioned healing

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
You won't like me.

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
It's not like me.

Boys will be boys,
who like boys,
who dress like girls,
and that's alright.

We're hanging with the boys that look like girls tonight.

Girls will be girls,
who like girls,
who dress like boys,
and start up fights.

We're hanging with the girls that look like boys alright.

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
You won't like me.

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
It's not like me.

If my mother had her way her,
son would be a preacher.
You looking for redemption,
I bring that old fashioned healing.

I don't care if you're a Christian,
or a Hare Krishna.
Who gave you the right to,
judge another's lover?

Now's the time for changing,
So keep the hate from creeping in.
'Cause the bed that you're building,
is the one you gonna sleep in.

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
You won't like me.

(so c'mon c'mon c'mon)

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
It's not like me.

Boys will be boys,
who like boys,
who dress like girls,
and that's alright.

We're hanging with the boys that look like girls tonight.

Girls will be girls,
who like girls,
who dress like boys,
and start up fights.

We're hanging with the girls that look like boys alright.

Don't make me put 'em up,
Don't make me put 'em up.
