Sticks & Stones

Sticks and stones won't break my bones

And words will never hurt me

You, you work so hard

To play the part

But I see straight through your house of cards

The walls so thin

They're caving in

So come on, tell me again who's

Powerless, powerless

You told me I'm powerless

It ain't adding up, adding up

Your story ain't adding up

Who's powerless, powerless?

It's not me, it never was

And I'm rising up

Oh, oh

I hope, I hope it burns

I'm gonna teach you lessons you never learned

You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own

You're gonna need more than sticks and stones

Sticks and stones won't break my bones

And words will never hurt me

I, I won't back down

So run your mouth

Let's see how quickly your breath runs out

If you want war

I'll give you more

So come on, tell me again who's

Powerless, powerless

You told me I'm powerless

It ain't adding up, adding up

Your story ain't adding up

Who's powerless, powerless?

It's not me, it never was

And I'm rising up

Oh, oh

I hope, I hope it burns

I'm gonna teach you lessons you never learned

You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own

You're gonna need more than sticks and stones

I know, I know you'll see

You'll never have the height to measure up to me

You wanna crawl your way out the grave you made your home

You're gonna need more than sticks and stones

Sticks and stones won't break my bones

Sticks and stones

And words will never hurt me

Oh no, there you go again

Little boy playing a man

Try to fool me, but you can't (Ooh)

Oh no, there you go again

Begging for your innocence

I won't ever make amends (Ooh)

I hope, I hope it burns

I'm gonna teach you lessons you never learned

You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own

You're gonna need more than sticks and stones

I know, I know you'll see

You'll never have the height to measure up to me

You wanna crawl your way out the grave you made your home

You're gonna need more than sticks and stones
