You′re feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don′t ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways
To keep 'em from running wild

They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine

I see you tugging on your shirt
Trying to hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts

Let 'em laugh while they can
Let ′em spin, let ′em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke′s on them

You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
It′s your brother's world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder

They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you′re looking tired, but you don't look scared

Let 'em laugh while they can
Let ′em spin, let ′em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke′s on them

Let 'em laugh while they can
Let ′em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I′ve seen how it ends
And the joke's on them

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Dress you down, and tell you that your place

Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine

Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind

I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

chorus

It's your brother's world for a while longer

Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder

After carrying your baby on your back across the desert

And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
