Sticks and Stones
by Lisa Rogers

CHORUS
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can break your heart
Fools can be so cruel
But fools are not so smart
Remember youıre rubber
Remember theyıre glue
Itıs not what they call you
Itıs what you answer to

In the lunchroom, the locker room, the restroom, the hall
Listen! You can hear the names they call.
But the classroomıs not the last room where youıll hear ridicule
Check the executive washroom or the typing pool

CHORUS

Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk, Karen Silkwood, Ryan White
Showed us you can take two wrongs and do whatıs right

What if itıs human nature to wanna be one up
Iıll just try to remember itıs more fun to share my cup
Then after supper weıll find a thesaurus and take it down off of the shelf
Open up, realize you can make a name for yourself.


CHORUS
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can break your heart
Fools can be so cruel
But fools are not so smart
Remember youıre rubber
Remember theyıre glue
Itıs not what they call you
Itıs what you answer to
