Lyrics
Sticks and Stones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know I am a legend 'cos I've seen my name
Slandered on a dirty subway wall
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names don't hurt
Names can't hurt me at all
You can crucify me
I will rise again
You can crucify me
I will stand alone
You bask in the light that pours from me
But that's just the way the world is mine
That's just the way all stars must shine
Assassination by vitriol and your quill is a loaded gun
Your finger on the trigger baby, trigger baby, trigger baby
But your dumb dumb bullets, dumb dumb bullets
Can never hurt anyone
