Lyrics

You are a brave warrior from the safety of your home
But people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
Your words are so sharp and spoken so carelessly
Cutting through people that you don’t even care to see

You raise them up and you raise them high
They surf the wave and they ride the tide
Until the day you change your mind
A fickle master in a fickle time

All the boys and all the girls
Have opened their windows to the world
For you to judge to look inside
There’s no going back, there’s nowhere to hide

Sticks and stones they only break my bones
It’s your words that really hurt me
You don’t see the damage done
The blade on the vein of somebody’s son

If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They hide and seek and taunt and tease

If you go down to the woods today
Best not be so naïve
If it’s approval or their love you need
It gives them the power and makes you weak

Chorus
All the boys and all the girls
Have opened their windows to the world
They're looking for approval and looking for love
It’s a powerful powerful powerful drug

Sticks and stones they only break my bones
It’s your words that really hurt me
You don’t see the damage done
The blade on the vein of somebody’s son
