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
Ain’t adding up, adding up
This story ain't adding up
Who's powerless, powerless
Its not me it never was
And I'm rising up
Ooh 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 works 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
Ain’t adding up, adding up
This story ain't adding up
Who's powerless, powerless
Its not me it never was
And I'm rising up
Ooh 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 hate to measure up to me
You wanna crawl your way out of 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, ooh)
Oh, no there you go again
Begging for your innocence
I won't ever make amends
(Ooh, 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 that sticks and stones
I know, I know you'll see
You'll never have the hate to measure up to me
You wanna crawl your way out of the grave
You made your home
You’re gonna need more than sticks and stones
