They push around, intimidate, condemn and criticize
Coldly stare down, berate, attack & terrorize
Walking insecurity with a paper thin facade
I wonder who died and made them God?
We’ve got to rise above (what are we afraid of?)
We’ve got to rise above (what will persuade us?)
Halt practices unkind
Well, sticks and stones only break a bone…but words will shatter hearts
Bones will heal, but words are steel and tear the heart apart
Why do bullies carry on? it’s hard to figure
I guess in some freak way, the power makes them bigger
CHORUS
Bridge : Some will wrongly say that boys will be boys
And girls, oh, they have their ways
But I am here to say that those wounds can last a lifetime—
And don’t you be fooled
It’s so uncool…
CHORUS
