Don't care what they have to say
Why are you 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

People kill 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
