Our Ballads Lyrics - Singles - Polar Bear Club

'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 wont 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 certainly 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.
