Every day a child is born
No one knows what he's here for
Was he born a sinner
So fix him now while you still can
Turn that boy into a man
He's gotta be a winner

Everyone's in on the deal
There's only certain things
That a boy can feel

And we lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie all the time
All the time
And we try, try, try
To get by, by, by
But all the while
Behind all the smiles
Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Every day a child is born
No one knows what she's here for
Was she born a barbie?
So fix her hair and stand her tall
Or else she'll be invisible
Forget she has a heartbeat

Everyone knows that's true
There's only certain things
That a girl can do

And we lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie all the time
All the time
And we try, try, try
To get by, by, by
But all the while
Behind all the smiles
Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

(Cry, cry)

Hey you over there
Disappearing like a ghost
There's so much in your soul
That the world will never know

If we lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie all the time
All the time
And we try, try, try
To get by, by, by
But all the while
Behind all the smiles
Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry
