Don't care what they have to say No point in listening to them anyway Why do you have to give them what they want? They love to watch you as you fall apart Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you That's why they try to make a fool of you They're so jealous of my pretty star Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes And you've been waiting all your life To fly high into somebody else And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world Life's a bitch and then you die my love Don't care what they have to say You shouldn't listen to them anyway Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes People like to build you up Then they'll stab you in the back like that You know it breaks my heart Can't see you going out like that Stay alive my love Stay alive my love Stay alive my love Stay alive my love
