girls girls girls girls are so polite
they don't crush everything that they see

you can take 'em to a funky funky forest
with big glass spiderwebs hangin' from the ceilin'

they wouldn't feel the uncontrollable urge
to tip and push and kick and rip and tear and smash and squish and

poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy

boys boys boys boys are said to kill
they wanna crush everything that they see

you can take 'em to a freaky museum
with dinosaur bones hangin' from the ceiling

they feel the uncontrollable urge
to tip and push and kick and rip and tear and smash and squish and

poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy

out in the wild with a girl i know
she sees a little thing in the sand
she will tend to leave it alone,
leave the creature in its home
but i don't understand
if i find a little delicate thing,
i wonder how it would look split at the seams
the girls talk, say it's beautiful
i gotta poke it to know it, i gotta LIGHT IT ON FIRE AND

poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
poke and destroy
i'm a boy, i wanna poke and destroy

poke and destroy
[and destroy and destroy]
(x7)

i'm a boy, i wanna POKE AND DESTROY
