Road Apples - Pearls For Girls
lyrics
Nobody said that life was fair
Dont need to justify it
We move spinning circles in the sky
Why cant you just accept it?
And we may learn before the hour gets too late
We may learn before the hour gets too late

And in your mind you may get old before your time
With the wisdom of the ages
And if youre so inclined consider those you left behind
A gift of pearls for girls
And nothing for the boys

You dont believe in common sense
Not with the weight of evidence
We move carving angels in the snow
And still you will reject it
Sometimes angels get their wings and fly
Sometimes angels get their wings and fly

And in your mind you may get old before your time
With the wisdom of the sages
I guess in time youll find not everything can be defined
Your gift of pearls for girls
And nothing for the boys

Consider your society
Consider this “equality”
Weve got a lock on how it used to be
Weve forced the lock and thrown away the key
But I admire your honesty
Yes I admire your honesty

And in your mind you may get old before your time
With the wisdom of back pages
I guess someday well find a punishment to fit the crime
A gift of pearls for girls
And nothing for the boys
