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      Right between the eyes   Right between the eyes   Right between the eyes   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
